Divide the horizontal measurement by the vertical measurement using a calculator, then take the inverse tangent (usually denoted tan with a small 1, or arctan or atan). Make sure the calculator is in degrees mode, not radians mode. The result is the camber angle.
How is the fall measured at home?
For camber, you can go anywhere from 2.5 to 1.8 for your street application. 2.5 must not cause premature wear.
How many arcs is too much?

What should my bow be?
In a normal car you generally want to maintain a slight negative camber (0.5 1°) to have a good balance between cornering grip, braking grip and tire wear. It is common for most vehicles to have slightly more negative camber (0.8-1.3°) at the rear to reduce the risk of oversteer (loss of rear wheel traction).
Which camber should be adjusted?
In a normal car you generally want to maintain a slight negative camber (0.5 1°) to have a good balance between cornering grip, braking grip and tire wear. It is common for most vehicles to have slightly more negative camber (0.8-1.3°) at the rear to reduce the risk of oversteer (loss of rear wheel traction).
How do you correct negative camber?
Often the best solution to a negative camber problem is to align the wheels, as we’ve said before. The cost of aligning your wheels isn’t too expensive, but it will cost you a few bucks. One thing to remember is that alignment is usually done in pairs. 4

Does Camber wear out tires faster?
If you have no camber and EVERY track, you will wear your tires evenly across the tread, but they will wear out faster overall. If you have zero toe-in and ALL negative camber, you will wear your tires unevenly and wear the inner shoulder more. 18
