a) Setting the Camber

The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as viewed from the front (vertical).

Negative inclination Positive inclination

(Top wheel edge points inwards) (Top wheel edge points outwards)

and positive cambers more obvious. The setting on the model vehicle of course must not be as extreme as

shown!

Also observe that the manufacturer has already chosen the best setting for wheel camber. For this reason,

changes to the wheel camber are only sensible for professional operators.

bends, the steering reacts more directly and steering forces are reduced. At the same time, the wheel is pushed onto

the axle spur in the direction of the axle. This stops axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.

Setting Front Axle Camber:

For setting the camber, turn the screw (1) of the upper

transverse link.

A suitable open-faced spanner can be used for turning (not

enclosed).

Because this screw has a left and right hand thread at

either end, the transverse link does not need to be dis-

mantled for the camber to be adjusted.
