I would check to make sure the set screws on all the parts connecting to the spring bundles are correctly seated in their notches. Then depending on what is doing what you might be able to swap the bundles end to end or top to bottom?

Bent trailing arms would be a very possible reason. Not likely the misdrilled camber eccentrics.

Look at where the arms meet the beam seals and see if anything looks a little off, otherwise the arms are a good culprit.

Yup. The trailing arms are quite fragile, one decent curb meeting and they are kinked. Typically the lower arm gets damaged. The LP arms more so, I always run into bent arms and carriers....
