What is Camber?

Camber is the angle of the wheel, measured in degrees; if the top of the wheel is tilted out, then the camber is positive; if it’s tilted in, then the camber is negative.

 

If the camber is out of adjustment, it will cause premature tire wear on one side of the tire’s thread. When the camber is out of adjustment, it can cause a pulling problem to the side with the more positive camber.

 

This usually happens when the vehicle has been involved in an accident which has caused structural damage or damage to the strut and/or spindle assembly. Camber also goes out of adjustment when the springs sag and cause ride height to change or when ball joints and/or other attached parts are worn or defective. It also varies depending on speed as aerodynamic forces changes riding height.

 

After repair and alignment, the pulling problems could persist due to insufficient and or uneven tire-to-road contact. If a tire shows a camber wear pattern, moving into the rear might be effective, but replacement might be best.

 

Whenever the camber changes, it directly affects the toe.

 

On most front-wheel-drive vehicles, camber is not adjustable; however, aftermarket kits allow sufficient adjustment to compensate for accident damage or the change in alignment due to the installation of lowering springs.
