C) Setting The Camber - Reely 23 90 00 Bedienungsanleitung

c) 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)
A negative inclination on 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. By setting a negative inclination, the wear on the
inside of the tyres increases. However, this effect can be compensated by setting a toe-in.
Shifting the camber in positive direction up to a positive camber, however, reduces the side tracking power of the wheels!
Setting of the camber on front and rear wheels
The camber is adjusted by shifting the top transverse links to the two
(front) or five (rear transverse links) attachment spots on the shock ab-
sorber bridges.
There are also right/left threaded rods with wrench surfaces (5 mm) for
fine-tuning the camber.
The clamping screws for fine adjustment of the camber are each located
in the top transverse control arms.
• Turn the clamping screw in the upper control arm clockwise: The wheel
top edge is pulled inwards towards a "negative camber".
• Twist the clamping screw in the upper transverse link counter-clock-
wise: The wheel top edge is pulled outwards towards a "positive cam-
ber".
Ensure a balanced adjustment of the lateral track forces of the front and
rear axis, because differences may lead to oversteering/understeering.
Positive inclination
