I'll tackle this one only.  I am assuming the springs were installed
correctly with the springs resting in their respective detents.  If they
were, then I would attempt swapping them left-to-right just to see if the
sag moves with the springs.  If it does, then obviously springs are at
fault.

My Westy does not sag to the left, but it's a Wofsburg camper without the
additional camping doo-dads and only a rear cabinet on the left.

Chris,

'85 Westy.
