		Camber angle is the angle made by the wheel of an automobile; specifically, it is the angle between the vertical axis of the wheel and the vertical axis of the vehicle when viewed from the front or rear.
		If the top of the wheel is further out than the bottom (that is, away from the axle), it is called positive camber, if the bottom of the wheel is further out than the top, it is called negative camber.
		This is because it presents the tyre which is taking the greatest proportion of the cornering forces at a more optimal angle to the road, increasing its contact area and transmitting the forces through the vertical plane of the tyre, rather than through a shear force across it.

	Caster, Camber, Toe
		Camber is the angle of the wheel relative to vertical, as viewed from the front or the rear of the car.
		While maintaining the ideal camber angle throughout the suspension travel assures that the tire is operating at peak efficiency, designers often configure the front suspensions of passenger cars so that the wheels gain positive camber as they are deflected upward.
		Since most independent suspensions are designed so that the camber varies as the wheel moves up and down relative to the chassis, the camber angle that we set when we align the car is not typically what is seen when the car is in a corner.

	Camber Settings — Car Geometry — Indicator - Overview - Circle Track
		The most useful definition of camber change is the deviation from the static camber that happens when the car enters and negotiates a turn.
		The number of degrees of camber that the front wheels lose or gain relative to the racing surface from static (down the straightaway) to dynamic (in the middle of the turns) chassis attitude is true camber change.
		There is an optimum amount of true camber change for each of the front wheels, based on the type of race car, the magnitude of lateral traction affected by the tire's track and surface composition (lateral G-forces), the amount of track banking angle, and the setup in the car.

	Radio Control Car Action On-Road Suspension Essentials (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Camber is the angle of the tires in relation to the track and is the most basic adjustment that any racer can make.
		Camber is usually adjusted by changing the length of the upper arm on the suspension or the camber link.
		Adding negative camber on the front of a car can increase steering, but 1 or 2 degrees of extra negative camber (beyond the setting that causes the tires to wear flat); is all you should add.

		You won't be able to see the top of the strut, so you won't be able to adjust the camber incrementally, but you can go from "least" to "most." That is really all you need.

		Camber is the tilt of the tire as viewed from the front of the car.
		Camber is measured with a caster camber gauge and is usually easily adjusted with shims or adjustable upper a-arms.
		The amount of static camber that you should run is a result of testing, pyrometer measurements, front suspension geometry and discussions with your car builder.

		The tire on the left is at around 31/2 degrees of camber while the tire on the right is at 6 degrees of camber.
		The true camber change, relative to the racing surface, results from a combination of roll effect and dive effect measured together in combination.
		You can see the camber change effects that different lengths have in order to decide which length arms are best for your car.

	Camber Toe Castor Facts
		This is camber, the angle your wheel sits in relation to vertical when pointed ahead and you look straight at the car from front or rear.
		REMEMBER too much neg camber and you will lose traction in straight ahead driving as the tyre is not flat on the road.
		Camber stays the same if the pivot (vertically) of the car suspension is zero.

	Camber angle in TutorGig Encyclopedia
		Camber angle alters the handling qualities of a particular suspension design; in particular, negative camber improves grip when cornering.
		This is because it presents the tire, which is taking the greatest proportion of the cornering forces, at a more optimal angle to the road, increasing its contact area and transmitting the forces through the vertical plane of the tire, rather than through a shear force across it.
		In older cars with double wishbone suspensions, camber angle was usually adjustable, but in newer models with McPherson strut suspensions it is normally fixed.

	Camber Compensator
		This would produce a severe positive camber position of the inside wheel so if the direction is changed rapidly (as in slalom or right-left turn combinations) you have immediate and gross oversteer.
		After you go through that corner and the body rolls back to the level position, the wheel that was affected stays in a gross positive camber position.
		The new camber compensator which is now available, is based on the original design with a few minor modifications to reduce assembly costs.

	Help, camber kit, will i need it
		If the wheel leans in towards the chassis, it has negative camber; if it leans away from the car, it has positive camber.
		Basicly the kit just lets you set the camber correctly after you drop the car so that you don't wear tires unevenly and the car handles correctly.
		I know this is a really old topic but I was actually searching for camber kits for my stratus (2.0 5spd) and they only make them for the 1g stratus v6.

		Now its my understanding that positive camber is when the top of the wheel leans out away from the centre of the car.

	All Ford Mustangs News - Press Releases - Steeda's New Aluminum 4-Bolt Caster/Camber Plates
		Caster camber plates are essential for getting the most cornering performance out of your Mustang.
		In effect, the increased caster increases or "multiplies" the camber setting when the wheel is turned.
		This allows you to set less camber to keep the tire flatter in a straight line for better braking traction and improved tire life.
