Definition from
Wikipedia:
Camber angle is the angle made by the wheel of an automobile; specifically, it is the angle between the vertical axis of the wheel and the vertical axis of the vehicle when viewed from the front or rear.
Example sentences:
The tilted steering axis has another important effect on suspension geometry. Since the wheel rotates about a tilted axis, the wheel gains camber as it is turned. (ozebiz.com.au)
This pendulum type tool has 3 zones marked out on the bottom foot. Each zone, or the area in each zone, represents the allowable, or designed, amount of camber angle of a wheel in different positions. (2cvtools.com)
However, the effect of the strong camber on the wheel and the softer tyre is to give negative results, as the outer part of the tyre becomes deformed, and turns with a smaller rotation radius then the inner part, with the consequent increased wear on the outer strip of tread, (wheels in motion)

Definition from
Den Store Danske:
camber, (eng., fra fr. cambre 'krum', lat. camur 'bøjet'), et hjuls hældning fra lodret set forfra. Ved negativ camber hælder hjulets øverste kant indefter, ved positiv udefter. De vinkelændringer i affjedringen, der opstår ved kurvekørsel, modvirkes af cambervinklen.
Example sentences:
Camber er den vinkel, som et hjul set forfra enten 'læner' sig op ad bilen med eller 'vælter' væk fra bilen med. Det mest normale er en negativ camber, som skal sikre den maksimale kontaktflade mellem dæk og vejbane, for eksempel også ved sidevind. Grundet bevægelser i dæksiden er en negativ camber omkring en halv grad normalt det optimale. Hvordan man så kan forsøge at opnå den vinkel under alle forhold, skal vi se nærmere på nu.
