    Your correct the camber is the angle your wheal/tyre is at and the lower
    you go on ride height the more camber you will get ... Which in turn will
    make your tyres ware on the inside more so than anywear else .. so
    adjust you camber to reduce tyre ware ... Thats the rule ive gone by anyway :D

    Camber is the angle at which the hub face is from vertical when viewing the car from straight on.
