It is an important aspect of a vehicle's suspension system, as it affects the handling, stability, and tire wear. Camber can be either positive or negative, and each type of camber has its own unique benefits and drawbacks.  In this blog, we'll explore the effects of both positive and negative camber on a vehicle's tires and handling. You will also appreciate why camber wheel alignment is so important.  Positive Camber: What is it and How does it Affect Your Tires?
