[Fot] TR frame square, straightness?

Or maybe LHD cars tend to run into curbs more often on the right side of
the car than the left?

Here's a urban myth to run by the group. I actually believe it to be
true as I've run into it more than once.
They were set-up that way to compensate for LHD on crowned roads. RHD
would have the corresponding difference on the other side.
Thoughts?
