No, the side with more camber just has more camber.

For example: Left side has .5 camber, Right side has .2 camber.
In this case the Left has more camber.

Same goes for if both sides have negative camber, like the OP case.

Left side has -.8, Right side has -.4.
The right side has more camber.

-.4 Camber is "less negative" camber than -.8 which means that the -.4 is actually more positive than -.8.
The -.8 is "more negative" camber than -.4.

If we just asked "which one has the least amount of camber?"
The answer would be -.8

All the confusion is how we are putting this into words, and when (or where) we are using "more (most) negative camber, less (least) negative camber."



Think of a number line, this is how the Hunter Alignment School taught us.

-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8

(-8) -7 -6 (-4) -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8

The -8 is the number with the "most negative" camber in this case. The -4 is closer to the positive side of the number line so it has "less negative" camber than -8.

The -4 is more positive than -8. or the -4 has more camber than the -8.

Hope this makes sense.
