Any joists which are not straight shoud be positioned with the camber or crown (curved edge) upwards. When loaded these joists will tend to straighten out rather than sag further if laid the other way up!

What is skateboard camber?

AnswerIt is the curve of the skateboard deck --also referred to as the concave of the deck.this answer is incorrect ^ camber is an upward ark on the board creating more push when you carve, concave is not the same thing as camberCamber is the arch of the board or deck front-to-back, and concave is the arch of the deck side-to-side. A positive 3% camber with a 2% concave would be a deck that is arched up in the middle higher than the front and back ends by 3%, with the edges along the side folded upwards 2%. Some decks are also flat-camber (flat-wood), as well as negative camber, which means the center is arched lower than the front and back. A negative camber deck is also referred to as "rocker" or "rockered"; surfboards are also referred to in this way.


Does negative camber pull?

Negative camber can cause a vehicle to pull slightly to the side with the greater negative camber angle if the alignment is not properly set. This is because the tire on that side may have a different contact patch with the road, leading to uneven handling. However, negative camber is primarily used to improve cornering performance, and its effects on straight-line stability can often be minimized with proper alignment and suspension tuning. Overall, while it can contribute to a pull, it is not a definitive cause in all cases.

Can you adjust the camber on a VW Golf?

MK4 applications cannot adjust camber, VW did this on purpose (which is really inconvenient), if you have tire wear, you probably should look into the toe adjustment, its fairly common for the toe to become misaligned which would create uneven tire wear, in some cases adjustment of the toe can be more of the culprit in these situations than camber is.... if however you still wish to adjust camber you'll need a camber plate or kit... (side note, you can tweak a few bolts here and there to so slight camber adjustments, but the results are fairly nonexistent)Answeri know for a fact that the camber cant be adjusted on my 1.4cl as there is no space for the strut to move.it is just a straight bolt through,but as far as i know(im no mechanic)nearly every other golf mk3 will have some kind of adjustment due to the elongated slots.but im told that very few places actually have the laser equipment to do this,and would cost roughly 50-60 quid to do as they need to track and balance again(that's what i was told anayway)hope i have been of some assistance. Purchase the correct camber bolts, or slot the holes in the strut tower. they do not need to be "lasered" to open the slots. A small file or oval grinding wheel works well.


How do you adjust the alignment on a 2002 Passat?

Only the toe is adjustable in the front of any 2002 Passat. Caster and Camber are not adjustable, if one side is off the only thing you can do is shift the entire subframe. There are no adjustments in the rear of a front wheel drive Passat. All wheel drive (4Motion) Passats have toe adjustments in the rear as well. They may have rear camber adjustments.


Should wood joists be installed crown up?

Yes, wood joists should be installed with the crown side facing up. The crown refers to the natural curve of the wood, and placing it up helps counteract potential sagging over time, ensuring a level floor. This installation method promotes better load distribution and overall structural integrity.

Why is BMW 323 pulling to left?

They all follow the camber of the road, so in this country, that is to the left. If you move over to the right hand side at some point (when it is safe to do so, obviously) you will notice it pulls to the right.
