Improvement in handling
Camber affects the tire's contact patch with the road, which in turn affects the vehicle's handling. When a vehicle is cornering, the weight is transferred to the outside wheels, causing them to tilt outward. This results in a reduction in the tire's contact patch with the road, which can lead to loss of grip and traction. Camber helps to counteract this effect by tilting the wheels inward, which increases the tire's contact patch with the road and improves handling.
Improvement in stability
Camber also helps to improve stability by reducing the vehicle's tendency to roll over. When a vehicle is cornering, the centrifugal force acting on it causes it to roll over. Camber helps to counteract this force by tilting the wheels inward, which increases the vehicle's resistance to rolling over.
Improvement in tire wear
Camber can help to improve tire wear by reducing the scrubbing of the tires against the road. When a vehicle is traveling in a straight line, the tires are supposed to roll smoothly on the road. However, due to the presence of camber, the wheels are tilted inward, which causes the tires to scrub against the road. This scrubbing can lead to premature tire wear. Camber helps to reduce scrubbing by tilting the wheels inward, which allows the tires to roll more smoothly on the road.
In summary, camber is provided on wheels to improve handling, stability, and tire wear.
