Camber refers to the slight upward curve or arch in a surface, commonly seen in the design of roads and vehicle wheels. In road construction, camber helps with water drainage, preventing puddles and improving safety. It allows rainwater to flow off the sides, reducing the risk of hydroplaning for vehicles. In automotive terms, camber describes the angle of a vehicle's wheels in relation to the ground. Positive camber means the top of the wheels tilts outward, while negative camber tilts inward. Proper camber alignment enhances tire performance, handling, and stability, contributing to a smoother driving experience.
