Default Is this a real technical term?????

"but when u get ur alignment ask them to make sure you are cambering alright"

That was the context in which cambering was used, my question is, is that the correct way to say it? ive never heard anyone use camber as a verb. It doesnt sound right to me. Anyone know if this is right or wrong?

camber is a noun...you can do cambering, though it's one of those words to avoid, because no one seems to think it's a word. I don't think that usage is correct though.

Most people would've just said "ask them to make sure your camber is alright"

cam·ber (kmbr)
n.

1.
a. A slightly arched surface, as of a road, a ship's deck, an airfoil, or a snow ski.
b. The condition of having an arched surface.
2. A setting of automobile wheels in which they are closer together at the bottom than at the top.

intr. & tr.v. cam·bered, cam·ber·ing, cam·bers
To arch or cause to arch slightly.
