Camber

nounStandard termAutomotive

The inward or outward tilt of a vehicle's wheels when viewed from the front or rear.

Camber is a fundamental suspension alignment setting that measures the vertical tilt of the wheels. Negative camber means the top of the tire leans toward the center of the car, which improves cornering grip by keeping the tire patch flat as the body rolls. Positive camber means the top leans outward, commonly seen on heavily loaded trucks or tractors to compensate for weight deflection.

Heard on the job

We need to dial in a degree of negative camber on the front end so it stops understeering on the track.
