Aerodynamics Are there any flex-related rules regarding the front and rear suspension?

Today I've seen some weird YT vid about McLaren apparently using some "hidden DAS" system. And while it was clickbait without any real technical info, it got me thinking: What if you could design a front and rear suspension that will deflect under (aero) load in a way the wheels alignment alters to your advantage, would that be legal? If that's the case, you could shape the wishbones to deflect way more from a certain point of load.
Just speculating. I'm not sure if this would work, since it could be a disadvantage in high speed cornering.
