Swaybars did nothing, even swerved it through the parking a few times to give it some exercise - all I got was some transmission slip. I'm at the point now where I'm gonna make a spacer and put it under the left spring, to see if that makes a difference.

Ok cool, but did you loosen the front ones as well? If the right front is sitting higher than the left front (suspension wise) then is will cause your "lean". Who is to say you don't have a weak left front spring? BUT you will need to measure the ride height at the front too..

I did not, no. Will do that as well.

What has led me to assume the rear spring is the problem is that it leans a lot more in the rear - the lean in the front it around 1/4".

A spacer got me it to sit straight as an arrow.

Related question: Is my 1-1/4" front sway bar too big for my 7/8" rear sway bar? I have a smaller one. The 1-1/4" came with the '72, while the rest of the FE2 suspension came with the '71.
