Why would you want to? With solid axles (ignoring for a moment the change, if any, in camber due to the twisting) the tires remain perpendicular to the road which will give maximum lateral traction. That is the goal of controling camber gain in independent suspension.

How much camber results from twisting? Can't be much. Although I suppose in theory the twist beam acts like a semi-trailing arm...
