I'm also curious about the cause of camber and bump steer (are these the same thing?). In a situation where the road is rutted, am I correct in assuming that as the tire hits the rising slope of the rut the "effective" spindle length is increased, since the tire (particularly a stiff tire) would be riding mostly on its outside edge? I'm guessing this would be compounded if the road is rutted under both wheels, since one tire would ride on its outside edge while the other rides on its inside edge - the resulting torque on each wheel would be dramatically different.
This would not explain, however, why a car would want to ride the crown of an otherwise smooth road, as some are reporting. Since the car is riding at an angle equal to the road, I can't see why it would steer toward the crown - I'd think that if anything, the car would move away from the crown as a result of gravity. Perhaps I don't understand the problem correctly.
