the angle of the wheel leaning towards or away from the car.

to be more specific... the vertical angle of the wheel (think xy-axis... its the angle from the y axis).  Negative camber leans into the car... positive leans out, neutral is obviously straight (or did I mix pos and neg camber...)

Isn't alignment done to fix the X axis of the wheels? I know that at least for the rear, a camber correction kit is needed for big drops.
