Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical (leaning in or out) when viewed from the front of the vehicle. When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is said to be positive. When the wheels tilt inward at the top the camber is said to be negative. The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical. This measurement is called camber angle.
Camber affects the position of the tire on the road surface during vertical suspension movement and cornering. Changes in camber affect the handling and ride qualities of the vehicle, as well as tire wear. Many tire wear patterns indicate camber related problems from misalignment, overloading or poor driving habits.
Camber is adjustable on the Pick-ups and Monteros; both require the replacement of shims in the front suspension.
