Roll Center Adjuster with Negative Camber + Track Increase

10th September 2004

Part 3

I was very concerned about the wear and tear of the tires when using camber around  -2.5 degrees hence they were change to around -0.7

Surprise ........................... there is more body roll ...................... just by reducing front camber from around -2.5 to -0.7

There is more body roll .......................................................

Oh my god, this means it was not adding the rear track width that reduced the body roll but instead the camber itself ............ what a surprise....... It makes sense now ...... yeah right, only after what happens :(

Why?

Because with zero negative camber the suspension strut is nearly straight up, while with more negative camber the suspension strut is at an angle which counter body roll naturally. See picture illustration below.
