What is the reason why the front wheel camber cannot be adjusted?
1 Answers
Front wheel camber can be adjusted, but it requires very precise work. It is not recommended to do it yourself. Here is relevant information: 1. Working principle: Its purpose is to improve the safety of the wheels during operation. Due to the assembly gaps between the kingpin and the bushing, as well as between the hub and the bearings, these gaps affect the normal operation of the wheels to varying degrees. When the wheel has a certain camber angle, the centerline of the tire intersects the ground at point A, and the axis of the steering kingpin intersects the road surface at point B. The distance between these two points is called the offset. Since the wheel rotates around the center and radius of the kingpin axis during steering, a large torque is generated around the steering kingpin due to the rolling resistance of the tire, increasing the steering force. 2. Adverse consequences: The wear of the ball joints and wheel bearings is accelerated (negative camber accelerates the wear of the inner bearing; positive camber accelerates the wear of the outer bearing). When the camber angle is too large or unequal on both sides, it will also cause the vehicle to pull to the side with the larger positive camber.
