plane of the wheel is not perpendicular to the ground. Look from the front wheel, the wheel angle with the vertical line is called camber (Camber). If the upper end is inclined outwardly of the tire as a right-left wheel “/” shape, called positive camber (Positive Camber), inclined inwardly inclination of negative camber. Basically, the outer set are negative angle preferably have a degree of flexibility, and the positive outer corners are more stable with rectilinear.
1. Camber angle noun
plane of the wheel is not perpendicular to the ground. Look from the front wheel, the wheel angle with the vertical line is called camber (Camber).
2. Camber angle defined
defined by the front of the vehicle to see the center line and the vertical line of the tire the angle, outwardly positive, negative inwardly. Change the angle of the different tire and the ground contact point and the point of application, a direct impact on grip and tire wear situation. And changed the car focuses on the axle force distribution, to avoid abnormal wear of the bearings. In addition, the body can be used to counteract a load, deformation and angle of the suspension system parts surface active gap change generated in the presence of camber. Presence camber also affect the traveling direction of the car, which may be utilized as the motorcycle body is inclined to turn, so camber left and right wheels must be equal, in the balance of forces would not want rectilinear Movies car, the toe angle and then (Toe) with improved stability and avoid straight uneven consumption of the tire. Increasing the negative camber with increasing demand Toe-out; need to increase the positive camber with increasing Toe-in.
