Getting these angles right is how you tune a car to reduce understeer or improve turn-in.","simplifiedExplanation":"Camber is how tilted your wheels are when you look at them from the front. The host is saying they adjusted that setting as part of the alignment. The goal is better grip in turns and less uneven tire wear."}},{"startTime":138.9,"endTime":144.4,"type":"term","title":"coilovers","url":"/glossary/coilovers","quote":"You could just buy a set of coilovers or a set of springs, put those wheels on.

They’re commonly used to fine-tune handling and stance, and they can also affect alignment targets by changing suspension geometry. The host suggests coilovers as an alternative path to the same wheel-and-alignment goals.","simplifiedExplanation":"Coilovers are suspension parts that let you adjust how high or low the car sits. They also help you tune how the car rides and handles. The host is saying you could use coilovers (or springs) to get a similar setup."}},{"startTime":141.0,"endTime":144.4,"type":"term","title":"springs","url":"/glossary/springs","quote":"You could just buy a set of coilovers or a set of springs, put those wheels on.","canonicalId":"term:springs","priority":0.45,"confidence":0.7,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-5.4-nano","data":{"explanation":"Springs support the vehicle’s weight and determine ride height and how the suspension compresses over bumps and during cornering. Changing springs (especially with different rates or heights) can alter alignment geometry indirectly and change how much the tires load in turns. The host groups springs with coilovers as a way to pair suspension changes with wheel fitment.","simplifiedExplanation":"Springs are what support the car and help it absorb bumps. If you change them, the car can sit differently and handle differently.

Doing it yourself can save labor cost, but it requires the right equipment and careful setup.","simplifiedExplanation":"Mount and balance means putting the tire onto the wheel and then adjusting it so the tire spins evenly.

A “10 mil” spacer means 10 thousandths of an inch, which is a small change often used to dial in wheel/tire position.","simplifiedExplanation":"A wheel spacer is a thin piece that goes between the wheel and the car’s hub.
