Car Suspensions: Discover the Camber

Camber refers to the angle of the wheels relative to the vertical axis of the vehicle when viewed from the front or rear. In more easy terms, it’s the tilt of the wheels. If the top of the wheel tilts inward towards the vehicle, this is known as negative camber. Conversely, if the top of the wheel tilts outward away from the vehicle, it is referred to as positive camber.

Camber affects the vehicle dynamics: the vehicle driving dynamics is how force affected vehicle driving and comfort. The vehicle driving dynamics is divided into longitudinal dynamics and vertical dynamics, which includes driving, braking and ride comfort. The problem of driving slip and braking slip are solved by the study of vehicle longitudinal tire force, which can also improve driving and braking efficiency. The ride comfort focuses on vehicle vibration and pitch movement caused by vertical tire force.
