Not really theoretically impossible, in fact quite possible! If the spring is
collapsed on one side more than the other, that side would have a
greater degree of negative camber than the other side. Because the spring acts
as the upper control arm, the raising of that component in relation to
the axle will pull the top of the vertical link closer to the differential.
This is why de-arching the road spring will induce an increase in negative
camber on both sides.
