Why such camber?

Why such camber?

Today I went to the workshop and found out tht when my car is on jack the tyre's bent towards insde to quite an extent, thoug it possess tht camber thing with which the tyres are slightly inside the body while on the road. If I am not mistaken thts called as negative camber, but why so much insde on the jack.

In pic its looking lik a little inside but in reality quite noticeable indeed.

Btw, I experienced the same with my grandfather's old C-200 aswell.

suspension travel (while on the ground is all that matters) it's hard to explain without pics. basicly your a arms are over extended when off the ground and because of that they camber in, in fact that illustrates that under hard cornering your outer tyre would be more or less flat to the roads surfact which is a good thing....

don't worry about it, it seems fine to me. Just make sure it has approx 0 camber while sitting (unladen) on it's wheels.
