Camber angle

 

Camber angle Угол развала 

 

Why the need for a camber? The collapse of providing for the stable movement of the car in a straight line and in bends.

Camber Развал - the deviation of the top of the wheel from the vertical, if you look at the car in front.

 Camber angle  zero (0)

If the wheels are aligned, the camber is equal to zero (see fig. 140).


fig. 140  Camber angle  zero

Camber angle  positive Угол развала положительный (P = positive  «+»)

 If the wheel tilt outward, the collapse of the positive (see fig. 141).

  

fig. 141  Camber angle  positive

  Camber angle negative Угол развала отрицательный (N = negative, «-»)  

 If the wheels are inclined inside, the camber is negative (see fig. 142).

 The angle of the camber of the

The angle of the camber, is measured in degree (see fig. 143).

  The wrong corner of camber.

In the process of the operation of the vehicle occurs wear and deformation of nodes and parts, steering, suspension and body of the car, this leads to a change in the angles of the wheels. To compensate for wear and deformation of nodes and parts, steering, suspension and body of the car, a replacement may be required and additional adjusting the angles of the wheels.

Improper installation angle of the camber, may affect the stability and controllability of the car.

Increased positive or the negative leads to tire wear, vehicle yaw rate (instability, instability of a car on a track).

If positive the camber angle is large, it will wear out the outdoor bar-bus (see the photo. 147).

 If negative the camber angle is large, it will wear out internal lamel bus (see the photo. 148).

If it is too big a difference angles camber of the left-side and right side, it is possible to pull the car in the direction of a more positive angle (see fig. 149).
