Camber Killer


Recommended Posts

Camber as we know in wim compliments handling, adding security to the drive domestically and is totally open for exploration in the realms of racing......... So what if the camber positions were incorrect on a new vehicle for domestic use and the owner is an experienced race driver...... Then things go wrong!

 

Car: Nissan 350Z 04 model

 

Position: Rear

 

Reason: Camber related deflation

Wheres the sidewall? Surely a blow out should be a single point permitting deflation...... Have another look.

As you can see on the very edge of the cut is the casing, this is the deflation area (blow-out) The additional information is that the Nissan was traveling at 120mph (on the road) when the 'blow-out' happened... by the time the car had stopped the wheel rim had cut though the tyre sidewall

I assume this Brown trouser moment and a visit to our designated maker was belayed because the owner had racing experience.

 

wim suggests Be wise..... life is as cheap as chips, simple things changes important things! (Observation).... Go and have a bloody look at the tyres!
