yup your right, i just looked it up...

/ \ = negitive camber

\ / = positive camber

a lot of times if your coils are blown or you lower a car or truck you get negitive camber, until you get an alignment...

and its the opposite for lifting a vehicle

well the cheaply designed suspension of the F150 style our trucks have make this worse than any other...

A-arm type suspensions and straight axles dont have the issue near as bad and can deal with lift/lowering in greater increments than these trucks...

thats why these trucks have nasty bumpsteer
