Read off the camber angle from the graph at the bottom of the page. Permitted tolerance between the measured value on the car and the value in the
graph is ± 0.4°. The camber angle is affected by the car's curb height. The fender edge measurement (a measurement of the car's curb height, see below)
can vary depending on the spring and shock absorber types on the car. The variation between left and right sides may not exceed 0.5°.
The measurement is made vertically (with the car seen from the side) down the center of the wheel, between the fender edge and the flare of the rim.
The measurement seen from the front (or the rear) is measured at an incline as shown in the illustration because the fender edge projects over the rim.
("A" = steel wheel, "B" = aluminum wheel). The reading taken off the graph will depend on the type of wheel rim on the car. The curves for reading
off the camber angle on the graph are for the following rims:
-
15" aluminum rim
-
15" steel rim
-
16" aluminum rim
