Yes you can have camber!

No there isn't, though camber can be set statically.
Works well on the mini and GTM , and the onyx firefox/clubsport use them and are reputed to handle well.
The axis of the upper wishbone slopes slightly down towards the centre of the car.
The result is that the top hub pivot moves at a small angle to the vertical, feeding in a completely linear camber change as the suspension moves.
This kind of suspension is also found on the Renault Spider, which also had a transverse engine mounted in the middle.

Alan, how about a proper trailing arm?
Z-Cars use them on their Mini conversions (though I can't seem to find a photo at the moment). There were excellent photos in Race & Track
Cars a few months back where they featured the Mini and Bond Bug BECs.
Look like a fabricated version of a Mini rear trailing arm with a Sierra style C/V bunged-in in place of the stub axle.
Doesn't provide any camber control, but toe is perfect throughout suspension travel, roll centre is at ground level. No inner links at all.
Could use bushes throughout.
Cheers, Ted
