ABSTRACT:
A bolt-on apparatus for conveniently modifying the camber curves of double wishbone suspensions on motor vehicles, for increased cornering performance includes an adaptive spacer to increase the distance between the upper and lower ball joint pivots of the wishbone control arms. The increased distance between the ball joint pivots changes the camber curve and reverses the position of the instant center point, about which the tires laterally pivot, or lean, at any given instant. This allows the tires to lean in the proper direction to maintain contact with the surface of the road while the vehicle frame rolls toward the outside of the turn resulting in improved tire wear and cornering traction.
