camber angle

In such vehicles, the positive camber angle helps to achieve a lower steering effort.

Excessive camber angle can lead to increased tire wear and impaired handling.

Sport wheelchairs have large camber angles to improve stability.

Double wishbone suspension allows adjustment of camber angles.

Dynamical camber angles for the each tire.

The angle the wheels make with the vertical plane also influences steering dynamics (see camber angle) as do the tires.

In 1965, the totally redesigned four-link, fully independent rear suspension maintained a constant camber angle at the wheels.

Double-wishbone suspensions allow for more control over the camber angle of the wheel, which describes the degree to which the wheels tilt in and out.

Geometric analysis shows it cannot allow vertical movement of the wheel without some degree of either camber angle change, sideways movement, or both.

Toe is always adjustable in production automobiles, even though caster angle and camber angle are often not adjustable.

That uses a 3 meter diameter disk that rotates under a tire held at a fixed steer and camber angle, up to 54 degrees.

Camber angle alters the Car handling qualities of a particular suspension design; in particular, negative camber improves grip when cornering.

Camber thrust is the force generated perpendicular to the direction of travel of a rolling tyre due to its camber angle and finite contact patch.

These coefficients are then used to generate equations showing how much force is generated for a given vertical load on the tire, camber angle and slip angle.

On automobiles, camber thrust may contribute to or subtract from the total centripetal force generated by the tire, depending on the camber angle.

The connection between the hub carrier and the shock absorber base was made rigid, making the spring unit into a strut and also controlling the camber angle.

The elimination of an available camber adjustment may reduce maintenance requirements, but if the car is lowered by use of shortened springs, the camber angle will change.

Wheel alignment is the procedure for checking and correcting this condition through adjustment of Camber angle, Caster angle and Toe (automotive) angles.

On the other hand, for maximum straight-line acceleration, the greatest traction will be attained when the camber angle is zero and the tread is flat on the road.

There are revisions to the recoil rate of the springs, change of the rear camber angles and alterations to the rear suspension brace and adjusting mounts.

In cars with double wishbone suspensions, camber angle may be fixed or adjustable, but in MacPherson strut suspensions, it is normally fixed.

He was thrown out of qualifying at Silverstone for an illegal toe camber angle, which he claimed had been bent out by an earlier escapade across the kerbs.

Particularly unwelcome among the tuner community was the replacement of the front double-wishbone suspension with MacPherson struts, which provide inferior handling and do not allow dynamic camber angle control.

This allowed distortions to the suspension camber angle and toe under heavy load, such as heavy towing or when travelling over undulated surfaces, leading to excessive rear tyre wear.

This means that if the camber angle is adjustable within the pivot points the scrub radius can be changed, this alters the width and offset of the tires on a vehicle.
