Re: bent leafspring?
Any chance that the PO has heated the rear springs to lower it a bit

Re: bent leafspring?
If nothing else is bent, then yes that could be a problem. Essentially you have one spring that is shorter than the other.

Re: bent leafspring?
Measure them. If one is bent, it will be shorter.
