Wind up torsion bar maybe? Little bit of sag can be common.

My old efs leaf springs were the same. Drivers side aswell

Not sure why it would do that unless one spring was weaker.
Intrigued by the post above. Left and right springs? I assume it would be to counteract the torque effect of the axle? Never heard of that before.

thanks the only way to get it right was to take the spring and to set the spring higher one side it is now siting right .Should have not needed to do this as springs are new and all new suspension EFS spent one day on this check everything may be the body is out to make it sit down one side 5m

its to counteract the weight of the fuel tank and driver.
i've come across it with coil rear springs, they come stamped as left or right (tho sometimes in manufactures code)

Ah cool. Makes sense now. Guess not an issue with the d40 as tank is on the passenger side.
