 Camber

One of the factors of wheel alignment. Viewed from the front of the car, it is the inward or outward tilt of the wheel. The top of the tire will lean outward (positive camber) or inward (negative camber).

Proper camber (along with toe and caster) make sure that the tyre tread surface is as flat as possible on the road surface. If your camber is out, you'll get tyre wear. Too much negative camber causes tread and tyre wear on the inside edge of the tyre. Consequently, too much positive camber causes wear on the outside edge.

May we suggest: 
| Caster | Steering-Axis Inclination (SAI) | Toe [In/Out] | Toe-out on Turns | Wheel Alignment |
