   Nope, because if you were to induce camber somehow (bending the stub pins, or angling the rear hubs, neither have been done AFAIK, as both are completely dumb ideas), then when you went over a bump, and the trailing arm went up, then the camber would alter, and change the toe as well.

   cut and weld the trailing arms. proper dodgy bodge but if it was for scene looks on a show car it would do the job, wouldnt use it on the road though lol
