Is the pig of the spring(cut end) in the notch of the spring cup and the lower rubber bushings? Not having the pigs in the notches will offset the spring heights and make it sit uneven.

Mine does not have notches for the pigs?
Nore does mine have these rubber bushings you seem to mention?

Fill your saddle bags up fully with gas and then check see.

The gas tank has two separate sides and one could be filled more then the other....I think.
