camber:<br />

[1] A wheel alignment adjustment of the<br />

inward or outward tilt on the top of the<br />

wheel when viewed from the front of the<br />

vehicle. Tipping the top of the wheel center<br />

line outward produces positive camber.<br />

Tipping the wheel center line inward at the<br />

top produces negative camber. When the<br />

camber is positive, the tops of the tires are<br />

further apart than the bottom. Correct<br />

camber improves handling and cuts tire<br />

wear. Camber is measured in degrees. See<br />

wheel camber.<br />
