Camber; Toe - Chevrolet Trailblazer Service Manual

Camber

Looking from the front of the vehicle, camber is the inward or outward tilt of the top of
wheels. When the tops of the wheels are tilted in, this is negative camber; if they are tilted
out, positive. In a turn a slight amount of negative camber helps maximize contact of the
tire with the road. Too much negative camber compromises straight-line stability,
increases bump steer and torque steer. Camber influences tire contact with the road

Toe

Looking down at the wheels from above the vehicle, toe angle is the difference in distance
between the front of the wheels, to the back of the wheels. If the wheels are closer at the
front, they are said to be toed-in or to have negative toe. A small amount of negative toe
enhances directional stability and provides a smoother ride on the highway.
