Adjustable Camber Top Mounts

In aftermarket tuning circles it’s long been the accepted opinion that being able to adjust your camber is a good thing. It helps you to fine tune your fitment and gain the perfect blend of stance and drivability on your desired wheel set. But from a technical standpoint, what does more camber mean? Why do some standard cars have camber adjustment and why would we want to fine tune it?

Ever since the motor car was first conceived people have been finding ways to make them faster, more fun and handle better. An often overlooked aspect of tuning a car is obtaining the correct suspension geometry for the intended use. An important component of the overall geometry is the camber. Camber is the ‘lean’ of the i, towards or away from the body. Positive camber is a lean away from the centreline of the chassis; negative camber is inboard lean – towards the centreline of the chassis.
