A. Vertical line. C. Camber




Camber (C) refers to the wheel leaning in or outwards. The angle is considered positive if the wheel leans outwards and negative if the wheel leans inwards.

Camber can be adjusted within certain limits.

Negative camber




Road holding is better with negative camber because the wheel stands upright when the body rolls.

Positive camber




Positive camber gives better feel for the road through the steering wheel. With an extreme wrong camber the tires wear unevenly.
