The reason the thing sags is due to the driver eating to much and drinking
mass quantities of BEER!
Period!

Richard,
The fact that only the bottom leaf is firmly attached to the diff is
what accounts for the lean. Since all the weight of each side is
supported by that single leaf, the driver's weight tends to distort that
side. While the other leaves above the pivot pin do move left and right
to provide the function of the swing spring, it is the bottom leaf that
distorts and causes the lean.
