Camber

If the top of the wheel leans inwards, the camber is negative; outwards, positive. A little negative camber helps grip in corners. Camber changes as the suspension compresses, so lowered cars often show more negative camber. On many cars camber can only be adjusted with special bolts or adjustable parts.

Camber changes how the tyre contact patch sits on the road, especially in corners.

Too much camber wears the inside or outside edge of the tyre. A difference between sides can make the car pull. If camber is out of specification on a car without adjusters, look for bent struts, arms or worn bushings.
