What is a camber angle?
The camber angle is the angle that the wheels of a vehicle make. Specifically, it is the angle between the wheel axis used for steering and the vertical direction of the car.
What is camber?
Camber is the Angle of which your front wheels are to the frame. Your front wheels are not on a 90 degree angle to the frame, this is done to make the vehicle drive straight. To much +/- camber will wear tires on the inside/outside faster than the rest of a tire. If this is happening, you need an alignment.
Why do the front wheels on a 1991 W250 angle in at the top?
It's called "camber" & "caster" and it's set at the factory to provide proper traction and give long tire life. If you feel the settings are wrong, have an alignment done.

Define camber angle?
Camber angle is the angle between the vertical axis of wheel and the vertical axis of the car/vehicle when viewed from the front or rear.
How does negative tire or wheel camber work?
Camber is the angle between the vertical axis of the wheel and the vertical axis of the vehicle when viewed from the front or rear. With a negative camber angle the top of the wheels is leaning in towards the vehicle. Tires tend to roll while cornering, and the inner contact patch may lift off the road surface. By using negative camber the effect is reduced, maximizing the tire's grip. This is only effective on the outside tire during the turn, which is bearing the majority of the vehicle's load as the weight transfers opposite of the direction which you are turning.
Could the replacement of ball joints for the front wheels affect the steering of a 1997 328i?
Yes indeed - The alignment has to be done - Because the ball joints wear out slowly and you get used to it , Secondly it affects the camber and castor angle , Thus your car may pull to one side. It is recommended that you have your alignment done , pros longer tire life ,and proper ABS function.
Why camber is provided on wheels?
What is camber? Camber is the vertical angle of your tires. When you look at the front or rear of you car or truck are the top tires leaning towards or away from the chassis. If the top of a tire is leaning towards the chassis this is negative camber and if it is leaning away it is positive camber. What camber does to your handling. To start off let us look at what incorrect camber angles will do to your handling. It affects overall traction, cornering ability and handling. With camber angles not adjusted to both track conditions and your driving style can make driving or racing your car or truck very frustrating. Now let us look at why camber angles are so important. When you enter a corner your car or truck will want to lean, because of the force of gravity. The faster or harder you enter a corner the more lean you will have. This flex of the suspension will cause the inside tires to want to lift off the surface and the outer tires to lean away from the chassis. This changes the contact patch of the tires, the area of the tire in contact with the surface. If camber angle is incorrectly set the contact patch lessens causing the loose of traction. On the other hand, with camber angles set correctly the contact patch remains flat, lessening chassis roll then increasing traction. Now let us look at how to adjust camber. Almost all RC vehicles use turnbuckles to adjust camber. These turnbuckles, in most cases, are threaded in opposite directions with hex nuts mounted in the center of the turnbuckle. When installing camber turnbuckles make certain that they are all installed the same way. This will make adjusting camber much easier and faster if all turnbuckles turn in the same direction to shorten or lengthen.

Ask a football player to kick the tyres as hard as he can.

Camber and toe can both cause inner tire wear.
What is a camber on an aeroplane?
No, a camber is normally found on the runway, apron and taxiway and of course roads. When built roadways like those mentions are not 100% flat they have a slight angle on the either right to left, left to right or are slightly higher in the centre this allows water to run off the ground. These angles are the camber
