Visible problems at one corner can be caused by an actual problem at the
diagonally opposite corner. If swapping over both springs moves all of the
lean then the springs are indeed the problem, if not then it is something in
the car. And this is the point where I say that Abingdon only allowed
150lbs per person plus 50lb luggage for the fully laden state.
