Idea

i am about ti be vauge but here goes. there was a article with a video on a website where a race team had already done this on a front wheel drive road race car with struts. it was just a prototype but it did work and was show driving. it was so you had a solid contact patch in the corner all the way through. it adjusted with a "type" of linear actuater. i am sorry i do not have all the details but it has been 2-4 years ago when i saw this. i almost want to think i saw it on SSM with the link to the site but i am not sure. it does exist though just not produced to my knowledge and not for the application you were wanting to use it for.

I am sure there are other actuators out there that would work for this application. The purpose is to adjust the camber at any ride height to prevent tire wear. Whenever tires cost between 200-300 each for 22s, this seems like a cost effective means to prevent that.

see, there is soemthing no one probably told you.. but camber doesnt wear your tires.. toe does.. set your toe and you're done (at least on the burban.. soem trucks the toe moves so you get it done where you ride the most).. camber will just eat your tire away in that 1 spot.. it wont do it any faster then it should.

Guaranteed there is an actuator out there that will do what you would need to accomplish this. It all comes down to money.

I'm sure that the reason that the team spent the time building a system that is adjustable is because the turning strut vehicles don't have camber gain, where it is set is where it will stay. So in a class where you would be forced to stay with a turning strut, having active alignment would be a benefit.
