I'm sure someone will have a better and more "technical" explanation but a camber plate adjust the suspension geometry as you turn the steering wheel. It keeps the contact patch as large as possible when the wheels are turned. I've never been hip to using these (meaning I don't know how to use these for the best results) but I believe I read this somewhere in a vehicle dynamics book?

On a similar note I have noticed that my R compound tires are wearing quite rapidly on the outside of my front tires (all I do is autox). Is this the result of not enough camber?
