What term describes the condition when the wheel tops are closer together than the bottoms?

• A. Neutral camber
• B. Positive camber
• C. Negative camber
• D. Over camber

Answer: (C)

Camber describes how the wheel tilts from vertical when viewed from the front. If the tops of the wheels lean inward so the top edges are closer together than the bottom edges, that condition is negative camber. This matches the description directly, since “tops closer together” means the wheel is tilted inward at the top. Positive camber would be outward tilt (tops farther apart), neutral camber is vertical with no tilt, and over camber isn’t a standard term for this condition. Negative camber is commonly used to keep more of the tire’s contact patch planted as the suspension moves, which is why it’s the correct description here.
