A method of actively controlling camber offset of a suspension for a vehicle includes, with a system controller, receiving, via a plurality of sensing devices within the vehicle and in communication with the system controller, data related to a target camber angle for the suspension of the vehicle, defining the target camber angle based on the data related to the target camber angle for the suspension of the vehicle, actuating an active camber offset mechanism of the suspension for the vehicle, and adjusting, with the active camber offset mechanism, a camber angle of the suspension to the target camber angle.

Active camber control

A suspension for a vehicle includes a knuckle, a lower control arm, an upper control arm, including an inner segment and an outer segment pivotally connected to one another, and a camber gain link interconnecting the upper control arm and the lower control arm, a pivotal position of the inner segment relative to the outer segment defining an effective length of the upper control arm and a camber angle of the knuckle, the camber gain link adapted to secure the pivotal connection of the inner segment and the outer segment and prevent pivotal movement of the inner segment and the outer segment relative to one another, thereby establishing a pivotal position of the inner segment relative to the outer segment, the effective length of the upper control arm and the camber angle of the knuckle.
