Camber

Camber is the inward or outward tilting of the front or rear wheels from the vertical. When the wheels tilt outward at the top the camber is "positive" and when they tilt inward at the top the camber is "negative." The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical and this measurement is called the camber angle.

An excessive positive camber will cause outside shoulder wear on tires; an excessive negative camber will cause inside shoulder wear. Excessive camber will also cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side having the most positive camber.
