My, my. What a difference. So that's what the camber compensator does!
I finally had an opportunity to do some "spirited driving" this
afternoon. I'm pretty sure I pushed it into the region where,
previously, it would have made that sudden scary transition to
oversteer, which is always so amusing when it happens in the middle of a
turn. But even in the couple of quick 90 degree slalom turns, which I
took WAY too fast (managed to open up some distance on the car that had
been tailgating me on the straightaway) the handling remained completely
predictable.
As an additional test, I took an especially rough railroad crossing way
too fast. Before the CC, each bump would have allowed one or the other
rear wheel to drop. By the time I was across, both would have been at
maximum camber, and who knows what direction the car would have ended up
going. Well, today it went straight.
As they say here in New Jersey, Camber Compensator roooles!
