what causes a positive camber on the front wheel of a car,?

Answer 1

possible bent suspension components after hitting a curb.

Answer 2

the lateral forces put through the outside wheel when cornering try to send the wheel into positive camber. obviously, positive camber isnt really what you need!! the only real cause of it in a normal roadcar is poor adjustment, or if you've bent something, although if you've bent an arm it'll drive like a pig anyway!

between 1 and 2 degrees negative is all you'll need on the street. anymore than that and your straight stability goes out the window and your tyres are scrap in no time.

Answer 3

Many, but not all, cars have adjustable camber. If that's the case, an alignment shop can put it back. If not, you may have something bent from an accident. The usual ways to fix this are by using offset "crash bolts", shims, or a few other tricks that a good alignment shop should know about.

Answer 4

Race cars have full adjustable suspension which can be set up for positive or negative camber by the pit crew and depends on the track their on. Road cars arnt adjustable but you can "load up" negative camber on tight bends. Hope this helps (its a hard one to explain)
