6.3.2 Collapse
Note
Wheel camber has become a compensating parameter, which helps keeping the wheel in contact with the road.
Wheel camber is the angle between the vertical and the plane of rotation of the wheel.
Note
In case if there is a minus in the wheel camber designation, then the upper part of the wheel is directed towards the inside of the car body. In case if the camber value is positive, then the wheel is directed outward (see Figure 6.28).
Figure 6.28 Wheel camber.
Figure 6.29 Example of toe-in of front steering wheels.
Everything that is associated with uncharacteristic, uneven or excessive wear of the tire tread of the wheels, in one way or another, is the result of a change in such a geometric parameter as camber.
