Q: How do the camber settings influence the directional control and the tire wear?
A:
Too much positive camber will result in premature wear on the outside of the tire and cause excessive wear on the suspension parts. Too much negative camber will result in premature wear on the inside of the tire and cause excessive wear on the suspension parts. And then the unequal side-to-side camber of 1 degree or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side with the most positive camber.
