check your body outriggers, sorry to say it but if they are under attack from the tinworm it could be that the body is twisting on the chassis. :-k :doh: :->

does it have a lift on it ? I noticed mine leaning badly to one side because I had flipped one side of the anti roll bar upside down  :roll:  Lack of spacers on the bar caused this  :-k

Also there was that thing about Disco chassias being twisted I read somewhere.  (the driver's side spring was longer)

Standard springs would have been stiffer on one side wouldn't they? the driver's side IIRC.

If a LR leans to one side for any length of time the radius arm bushes "creep" aqnd take up a permenant deformation that keeps the lean to that side, new springs don't fix it but swapping the radius arms side to side will.

will try the radius arms as that seem to be the most likely problem as everything else looks fine underneath

This happened on my old 300tdi, first I thought possibly worn springs but it turned out to be rotten body mounts  :'(
