In which situation would negative camber most likely be observed?

Negative camber refers to the angle of the wheels in relation to the ground when the top of the wheel leans inward towards the vehicle. This alignment can enhance stability and cornering performance during turns.

In the context of this question, negative camber is most likely to be observed after a collision causing a side impact. This type of impact can lead to misalignment of the suspension components, resulting in an abnormal camber angle. When a vehicle experiences a side collision, the force can bend or shift suspension parts, including control arms and struts, leading to improper wheel alignment such as negative camber.

While other options mention circumstances that could affect tire alignment or performance, they don't specifically lead to a consistent observation of negative camber like a collision would. For instance, worn tires may lead to uneven wear but do not directly indicate a negative camber setting. Similarly, overinflated tires can affect handling and wear as well but typically would not cause a negative camber condition. Normal driving conditions would not inherently alter camber unless specific adjustments were made to the vehicle’s suspension during operation or maintenance.
