What is the normal degree of wheel camber angle?
1 Answers
Wheel camber angle is generally between 30 to 40 degrees. Here is some information about wheel camber angle: 1. Camber angle refers to the inclination of the wheel's center plane relative to the vertical line of the ground. 2. A positive wheel camber angle occurs when the upper part of the wheel tilts away from the vehicle's centerline, while a negative angle occurs when it tilts inward. The functions of camber angle are as follows: 1. Camber angle is one of the important factors affecting the size of the tire's contact patch. A zero or slightly negative camber angle ensures that the tire is perpendicular to the ground, maximizing the contact patch area between the tire and the ground. 2. The larger the tire's contact patch, the greater the lateral or longitudinal force the tire can provide, thereby enhancing the vehicle's handling performance. 3. Camber angle significantly impacts tire wear. To minimize tire wear under any driving condition, the wheel's camber angle should be maintained at zero (or slightly negative).
