I discovered a gubbins called "Magic Camber": http://www.monroe.com.au/products/magic-camber.html
This appears to adjust the alignment of the upper strut bolt thereby correcting the camber of the wheel in question....

Anyone used one of these? It might be risky to suggest using them to give greater front wheel negative camber to
improve holding when getting the arse end out on high speed corners (with the aerodynamics of a 40ft container? surely some mistake?)

I've used them on a previous car. They work well and do the job, but are a bit of a faff to get right. You need a camber gauge and a flat area. Fit, adjust, replace wheel, lower, roll car back and forth, measure, raise car, remove wheel, adjust, repeat .. and repeat .. and then do the other side and then recheck the first side :)

It wouldn't be high on my list for Bongo suspension. Air assist bags are fairly high up though to try and stop the van rolling like a barge at sea!
