How to adjust the camber angle of front wheel
The greater the camber angle of the wheel, the more serious the eccentric wear of the tire. Moreover, if the inclination angle is too large, the friction area between the tire and the ground will decrease when the vehicle runs in a straight line, which will lead to the decrease of the longitudinal grip of the tire, acceleration and weakening of the braking force. However, if the degree of negative camber is appropriate, the vehicle will roll when turning, and the camber of the wheel will become positive camber, thus increasing the contact area of the tire, thus increasing the adhesion of the tire when turning and improving the tracking performance of the vehicle when turning (if the negative camber is 1-2 degrees, it is still acceptable).
Adjustment method of camber angle of front wheel;
1, check and adjust the tightness of wheel bearings, and adjust the tightness to change camber;
2. Check and replace the worn steering knuckle kingpin and its bushing, which is also the factor leading to wheel camber;
3. Check and replace the steering knuckle with the wrong finger shaft angle, which will also cause the wheel to camber;
4. If necessary, the front axle can also be removed for deformation inspection and correction;
5. For the front wheel alignment of independent suspension, the camber angle of the wheel is adjusted by adding an adjusting gasket between the upper arm shaft and the fixing frame, as long as the adjusting gasket is increased or decreased as needed.
