Camber Compensation

[andrew1988]

Can someone explain what camber compensation is and how it is achieved please? Ive been set a design project in which i must achieve 20% camber compensation but internet shows very little

Thanks

from what i rememebr it is what happens on a mcpherson strut as it travels upwards as its cornering it adds more camber to the strut to allow better cornering

could than not be to do with the levers that move the wheels for the CC? so the CC in the dax link would be 100% as its keeping the tyres parallel at all times. i could see it being more usefull in situations like standing water, a big tyre would aqua plane, where as the edge would cut into the water, that way you can get more traction round corners and a wider tyre on the straights? :confused:
