Kerry,
It is not uncommon to have more sag and/or negative camber on the
driver's side of a TR6. That is because the cars are driven so often
with a driver only, with no load on the passenger side. The cheapest way
to level out the sag is to swap your 2 rear springs. Assuming your
passenger side spring isn't in bad shape, this will give you temporary
relief.
Another factor affecting rear camber on a TR6 is the condition of your
trailing arm bushings. Replacing my old bushings with stiffer
TriumphTune trailing arm bushings had a dramatic affect on my rear
camber and rear end sag. Hope this helps.
