V8 super cars front wheel camber?

^^^ You would be surprised at how many people will argue that you can't have camber on a live axle rear end.

You'd be surprised how unsurprised I would be.

I'm a mod on a Holden forum, I see people arguing dumb **** all the time...

You can't on your stock commodore, but when you're running full floating hubs you can have camber on a live axle

Can too put neg camber into a stock rear axle....... Thats what the workshop press is for:idea3: Can get about 1deg into it before you load the bearings too much... or so im told.

Jesterarts described camber well however there is also the "tucking"(due to sidewall stiffness) of the tyre that comes into settings.

Throw into the mix double suspension springs and other goodies all make a supercar crazy to set up:bomb:

That would #### the axles wouldnt it?

I'd imagine it would because the splines of the axles would be sitting at an angle. Eventually it would chew the **** out them

TOE is also fun to talk about..

i wanna add my two cents, iv thrown massive amounts of camber at my machine, but difference is mines a drifter, and iv found that on opposite lock the castor tends to give the inside wheel (when turning either direction) positive camber, and when ur sideways, running on the sidewall of the tire is never good for it, so by running mega neg camber it ends up fairly neutral and quite square to the road on opposite lock.

heres some pics.

heres what becomes the outside wheel when drifting, notice the almost straight up n down-ness.

and then, straight on, you can see just how much negative camber i actually have.
