Heartbreakid 6th Gear August 28, 2019 Share August 28, 2019 On 8/26/2019 at 6:48 PM, Tohto said: Subaru Legacy of late 80s. This model was very popular then as it had a very high PARF value of $29k. During that time all above 1.6L get $29k PARF and below 1.6L get around $11k PARF. But this one should be 1991 registered if plate is original. The Legacy Ti which was the facelifted model of this Legacy, along with the Estate model and RS turbo were my favourite Legacy then. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the top of the wheel/tyre slant inwards it's called negative camber. Car suspensions are designed with geometries such that the camber will become more negative as it is being compressed down, like when you are taking a corner. I don't think it's got to do with speed nor is it a BMW-only trait. The idea is, when the car is cornering, lateral load on the bottom of the wheel/tyre will push it towards the centre of the car. If your camber is neutral to begin, the cornering loads will force the wheel into a positive camber situation, leaning on the outer edge of the tyre, reducing the tyre contact patch surface area. Having a little negative camber will counteract this force and keep the wheel/tyre upright and the full tyre tread on the road surface for maximum grip. However, too much camber is not a good thing. Other than lopsided tyre wear as pointed out by @Tohto, there is also smaller tyre contact patch when you are going in a straight line, so grip and stability when going straight and braking is adversely affected. I remember older BMWs with semi-trailing arm rear suspension (E21 for e.g.) and the old Datsun SSS have pretty pronounced negative camber angles at the back. Road cars have about 1-2 deg of negative camber. Different suspension designs will need different levels of camber, with double wishbone/ multi-link needing less as their rate of camber change is more gradual and progressive as the springs are compressed. Hope it helps. 😊 Thanks! Very informative. Let me read up more on this. 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
