9. Adjustment Options at the Vehicle

a) Setting the Camber

The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as viewed from the front (vertical).
Negative inclination
(Top wheel edge points inwards)
The setting of the wheel is exaggerated in the two figures in order to make the difference between nega-
tive and positive cambers more obvious. The setting on the model vehicle should of course not be as
extreme as shown!
• A negative inclination of the front wheels increases the lateral cornering powers of the wheel when driving through
bends, the steering reacts more directly and steering forces are reduced. At the same time the wheel is pushed onto
the axle leg in the direction of the axle. This stops axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.
• A negative inclination on the rear wheels reduces the tendency of the rear of the vehicle to swerve in bends.
• Setting a positive camber on the other hand reduces the cornering force of the wheels and should not be used.
Setting Front Axle Camber:
For setting the camber, turn the screw (A) of
the upper transverse link.
Because this screw has a left and right hand
thread at either end, the transverse link does
not need to be dismantled for the camber to be
adjusted
There are several more suspension points (B)
for the upper transverse link at the damper
bridge. When the wheel rebounds, the camber
changes depending on the installation position
(e.g. stronger camber when the wheel is
pushed in).
