change camber or adjust camber?camber screw doesnt need changes so often.afaik camber is the setting of the tilt of the tyre when looking from front or rear.if the tyre ti.lt to which the top goes towards inside the fender is called -ve camber and vice versa .i adjust camber everytime service my car.i think its important camber 'lari' (blame potholes) the tyre will eat one side like others mentioned before, and corner also not syiok

some info

"Toe

Toe, simply put, is direction the wheels are pointing. Zero toe would be perfectly parallel wheels pointing straight forward. Toe-out means the front of the tires are farther apart than the rear of the tires. Toe-in means the front of the tires are closer together than the rear of the tires. Toe has different effects on tire wear in the front and in the rear. When the front wheels are toed out, the inside edge of the tire scuff and wear out early. When the front wheels are toed in, the outside edge will scuff and wear out early. However, on rear tires toe usually causes a diagonal cupping wear pattern whether the tires have too much toe in or too much toe out. The diagonal cups are caused by the tires hopping and skipping along the road. It's hard to explain why, but I'll give it a try. Draw an overview of a car with 4 wheels on a piece of paper, make the front wheels parallel, but toe the rear wheels in substantially (say 45 deg. in just to make the demo easier) Now draw lines parallel with the rear tires following their path of travel if they were to roll. You will notice that the lines you have drawn intersect. Since the tires are attached to the car they can not intersect. Instead they roll a bit, then skid outward, roll a bit, then skid outward again. This goes on and on until the tires have diagonal cups worn into the treads where they have been skidding outward. By the way, if you are reading this, and get it, and can write a clearer version, and feel like doing a good deed, and have some spare time, my e-mail address is paul@artsautomotive.com

Camber

Camber is the lean of the wheel. If the top of the wheel tilted away from the car, that is called positive camber. If the top of the wheel is tilted in towards the car, that is called negative camber. Camber can cause a pull to one side or the other depending on the direction of the lean. The car will pull in the direction of the wheel with the most positive camber. However, if both sides have the same amount of negative or positive camber, they will cancel each other out and the car will not pull. Camber can cause premature tire wear, but is not as hard on tires as toe is."

maybe u do a lot of high speed cornering kot haha.dangerous u know

respect ur knowledge dude.. i want to ask u how easy/hard the camber will misaligned?coz i do alignment incl camber every 10k-12k km.s it considered redundant ajdusting camber ard this interval?so far after 1 yr 3 mth my tyres are still looking good with 70% tread.

oh 1 more thing,cheeann,do u adjust ur caster as well?

cheeann, can u adjust camber for me?my car iswara ab.my current setting is -0.35 left,-0.45 right.the shop i did alignment refused to set the camber more negative than that even i told him to.he said that setting cun already.can i adjust camber alone without offsetting toe?

kelana jaya near fastfik

i want better cornering.like ur setting u mentioned camber -1 toe 0 rite?
