Effects Of Camber Angle On Driving - How To Adjust
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- In this video I'll explain the camber angle on your car, I'll go over how most cars are setup from the factory for safe driving and how you might want to change it for better performance and handling around corners. How you can adjust them and how to use aftermarket parts to make these adjustment.

Cornering forces also cause the tire tread to deform. Running negative camber allows the tread to deform into a better contact pattern. There is certainly some complex vehicle dynamics in play, but as most people are not engineers this is a fantastic video. Well done
That's weird, you're saying that as if he didn't mention it.
😂 you explained things to be less confusing 🙏🏼 thanks
Lots of good info well explained. I'm going to have to watch this one several times.
Glad you found it useful
Last time I watched your video you were explaining how you were slowing down your utube channel because you had purchased or involved in a nut or fruit farm in California ,it was at that time unstopped following you .
I found your video tonight on my iPad as it was a suggested watch
I enjoyed the camber explanations you gave as I did not understand camber prior to watching your video
I see that you have over 1 million subscribers 🎉something to be proud about! You deserve success as you are one of the better mechanical educators on you tube imo
I just resubscribed to you
Thank you, this was a great detailed explanation 👍
Extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!
Well put together video. Thank you!
Thanks very much I learned a lot from your videos and thanks for sharing. Watching all the way from Papua New Guinea 😊😊😊😊😊
Another awesome educational video cheers mate
Great video, excellent explanation, thanks.
Simple and helpful! Thanks
Thanks! @2am my 19yr old son & i were finishing up the Toe-Adjustments on the Chevy Uplander in Wartburg, TN aka BFE. Finally got to teach him some SH!T, but still have camber&caster 2go thru. Got home, slept 12hrs, and u drop a camber vid
Nice, glad I could help :)
Best explanation ever.
Great video man.
I watched just to see the Prelude. Nice video. I have the same one on the same colour
Great video explaining camber!
thank you
Nice one , well explained
Very well explained!
thank you
I'm unreasonably proud of the wear pattern on my tires 😆
haha good one.
We should definitely meet up! I own a 92 Prelude in SoCal as well
Dude you are amazing !
No, You are my friend :-)
Great explanation 👏👏
Glad you liked it!
Hey hey welcome back sir
ty ty
hey hey hey ratchet n whrenches...... lol... thank you for the vid upload. some really good stuff. ohh btw i see the shop start getting crowed.... good vibes good vibes
thank you :)
Best explanation
thanks
If you're suspension is tight and your stabilizer links aren't good shape there is very little tire roll when you have neutral camber. As for a daily driver you always want to have neutral camber
gonna try the washers idea, if i only need to adjust it by 1.9mm
I recently installed a front strut tower brace bar to my Camry 2002 2AZ-FE and noticed better handling and reduced backslash on the steering wheel. Since I installed the front strut tower brace when the brace bar and engine are both cold, I wonder if the brace bar will expand after heating up during driving and hence will reduce the negative camber angle at the front wheel.
Should we re-install the front strut tower brace bar when everything is will warmed up to a steady state, say, 20 to 30 minutes, of driving ?
The re-installation steps are as easy as loosening the brace bar mounting nuts after being driven for 30 minutes and tightening them back to torque spec again.
I hit a curb hard in my 1990 Prelude, passenger front. Positive camber and the hub sits closer to the firewall now. I’m gonna start wacking things.
When I was a kid, I always wondered on the huge positive camber on empty Tatra 148 trucks. I knew the reason, when the truck is carrying a load, the camber would get closer to neutral, but the large size of the camber was always somewhat surprising to me. It looked like a man walking strange because his shoes were way too small :).
ha good analogy
very good video showing the insight of camber does changing a ball joint affect the camber and coil spring just woundering i done mine last week may you could do a video on it Thanks
If you replaced the ball joints and the coil springs only with matching parts you shouldn't need an alignment. gl
@@myRatchets Thanks for getting back to me
What about for Honda Vehicles with ivtm-4 AWD ( active torque vectoring) like the pilot or Ridgeline?
The rear doesn't have camber adjustment for 2016 model years and up and I'm having accelerated inner tire wear
actuator correlation to rpm through tire sensor rwd ; maneuvers out grit patch in rally or snow condition severe by duality shift timing recognition
fwd calibration upon differential placement setting is opinionated
tire thread numeric semsor and majority grit regulator
Very well explained. Have you ever changed a ball joint or tie rod end to find out the after market part is not exactly the same size so your steering alignments are off after the replacement? Not a problem with the tie rod ends since the toe is always adjustable. But can can be a problem when you change the ball joint since the camber is not always adjustable.
yes the tie rod is ok but I always match the parts in size before putting them on. If they don't match I get another one.
@@myRatchets I live in Iceland and we have limited access to spare parts, few parts shops and not all of them carry the parts for the vehicle you are working on. Even the dealerships and distributors don't have parts in stock. So if the car has to be repaired immediately you will have to use the part you have until you can order a proper fitting one.
Good vid
thanks
How about thē designing of computer adjustable camber, to all 4 wheels, based on G force?
When you get the 5th gen 5 speed fix, let me know how much to ship it to me 🤣❤️.. I absolutely loved mine I had mannnny years ago 😉
Oh no keeping that one for myself :)
Here in Pensacola every other 350/370 & All Miatas have insane amounts of negative camber. Nothing like arguing with teens 25 years younger then me that they are killing their strait line performance. To get countered the own the turns..lol..
Don't forget all those Subaru WRXs here in Hawaii.
Hot-bois are hilarious.
Funny thing is they will have a higher top speed due to less tire drag if they ever get there without losing control, but they are indeed killing their acceleration.
Can I get the factory spec for caster camber and toe for my 1998 Ford E250 V6 4.2 L
This guy should be a prof in Harvard 👏🏻
I am trying to install a kit of coils-over In my Eclipse 2007. Having all.sort of problems. Don't have clue how to adjust the camber and the angle it's ridiculously positive. There's 4 little screws on each suspension. Which is which a d what's is what?
Thank you.
Love the video and info but damn man I literally felt stressed watching you film under that car!
Your video thumbnail looks like a picture that Ron Jeremy should be standing behind you. 😲
Hey, hey, bey!!!
nice vid but can we talk about when you're going to start on the Audi ????????????
I was fish tailing like crazy until I corrected it
👌🏽👌🏽💯💯💯
Can a negative camber be fixed by having an alignment done?
Yes. The shop should be able to bring it back in
I never heard of a car traveling straight all the time
haha
Hey so you live near san diego? I might move for a job to rancho bernardo, where could i find a nice big place for not too much money?
Lots of luck with that!
@@Graham_Wideman lol thanks. He mentioned he bought this huge property but it looked like at the outskirts of San Diego. I’d love something like that.
@@shortydancer Yeah, RnW bought that a couple of years ago, I believe. Since then, prices have gone crazy.
@@Graham_Wideman don’t kill my fantasy lol
I bought my place more than 4 years ago in east county, you might find a bigger place further up north from Rancho Bernardo in Fallbrook or around Escondido area. GL
I definitely want the DIY alignment. I can’t find an alignment guy in my area to adjust my car because I’ve added full adjustment to it that it didn’t have from factory. Gears and Gasoline shows you how to do it at home but they use a lift and a lot of expensive fixtures. I’m curious how a do-it-yourselfer would do it. 😂
You should swap tires left to right.
getting new used ones for up front ;-)
from Ethiopian & I am a mechanic
FWD - more negative camber on the FRONT than rear
RWD - more negative camber on REAR than front
Is that a red B6? One of audis best colors. Screw the main color fan boys lol
"...as they do left turns all day"
:)
“Real wheel drive” 😂 sorry love the vids but it sounds like you’re saying real
Holy heck long and drawn out
You lost a lot of weight
When adjusting camber should the weight of the vehicle be on the suspension or at full droop, such as on a lift or jack stands?
Are you going to get into roll-center and kingpin angle? I don’t understand those
Now that you mentioned it ... :-)
Nice one , well explained
