    Every car has front and rear camber.

    I;m not sure I understand the question. Any road-wheel has measurable camber, caster, toe, etc measurements. Is it out of tolerance?

    Is your, assumingly a civic, cars back wheels cambered negatively or positively?

    If positive, I'm nearly sure it'll fail because the top of your wheel can't extend out from the arch.

    sorry should have made this clearer.its running serious negative camber to keep the wheels from rubbing on the back as its so low

    Maybe I'm just being the voice of sensibility here but I would advise getting negative camber reset. If you do some research into the physics of camber and how it works you'll soon see why I'm suggesting this.

    Get your arches rolled and if all else fails install a good set of coil-overs to give you the ability to adjust to a suitable ride height.

    I know it's probably not answering your question but it's just what I'd do.

    Negative camber can increase roadholding and turning ability.


    Or else it's the other way around, positive being better, I forget.

    My understanding is that camber should be adjusted in small increments and to help, as you said Midnight EG, with road holding. Negative camber is applied to wheels so as when the car is cornering it allows the more of the tyre surface to be in contact with the road. That's just a basic explanation really and to be honest I'm far from being an expert! Personally, I think to have it as an aesthetic mod to help fit bigger wheels just seems to be a waste.

    OP are your tyres wearing excessively on the inside?

    Do you like or dislike camber :confused:

    You seem to have contradicted yourself? :P
