The car has sat mostly dormant since it's restoration in 1990 in a garage but was brought out on occasion and just this past may I have gotten the car out more and more, now that it's in my possession. Negative camber is when the wheels are inclined towards the chassis of the car. The car has new tires on it as the old ones were bad (they were over 10 yrs old and burned down ), so I can't look for abnormal tire wear. The shorter front upper control arm increases camber gain which is the amount of negative camber that is created by the geometry of the suspension as the car. What got my attention on the camber was when looking down the side of the car while squatting down (so that I am eye level down the center of the fender/door/quarter panel) I noticed the front right tire is not lined up like the rear in that as mentioned the lower edge of the tire sticks out more than the top.

The tires relationship with the road changes as the suspension moves through its travel. And if the top of the tire is further out than the. Camber is the angle of the wheels in relation to the ground if you look from the front of the car. When the track is higher on the inside of the turn compared to the outside, this is classed as negative. If the bottom of the tire is further out than the top of the tire, this is known as Negative Camber Angle. They are dry rotted but they do not appear to be falling out or anything like that. Negative camber is simply the opposite of the above.

Lowering the control arm does lower the car slightly.

Dramatically reduces understeer and tire roll-over thereby improving steering and road feel regardless of the wheels used. The further you are from the horizontal line, the more noticeable will be the effect on camber no matter if it is above or below the the horizontal line. If your upper A-arm is close to the horizontal line right now, the effect is negligible. I've checked the upper control arm bushings. NEGATIVE CAMBER WEDGE KIT, Lowers control arm 1 5/8 inch using a supplied template that doubles as a reinforcement plate. This will pull the top of the tire inside.
