Chris,
No, it drove fine, just leaned a bit! I had done a full rebuild about 4 years
ago, including new springs all round. It started out level, and then began to
lean.
I thought it must be cheapo rear springs getting tired, although I am not that
heavy (170lbs), so swapped them over. It made no difference at all.
Squirelly certainly sounds like either loose U-bolts or shackles or a broken
leaf.

So I should convert my car to RHD to even things out? ;-)
Seriously, though. I haven't checked for a broken leaf yet, though I am
assuming there's a problem in the rear springs, given the weird behavior on my
drive. When your car had the driver's side droop, did the rear feel squirelly,
or did it drive fine and just look uneven?

Chris,
that is about the difference that I had at the back, except as I am in the
UK it was the left side that was high. I tried swapping the rear springs
over which made no difference. What eventually sorted it was to adjust the
front, not the rear. The rear end then levelled up nicely.
OTOH, did you look really closely for a broken leaf?
