More likely it could be poor weight distribution.
Try this to see..........
With everything on the car as if you were about to race. Half fill the fuel tank. Now place the car on a flat and level surface.......with a knife or sharp object, gently and slowly lift the front of the car. The knife should be place under the chassis on the centre line of the car! The rear wheels are to remain on the ground.
Watch the front wheels as they go into droop and keep a careful eye on them and see which wheel comes off the ground first. They should come off the ground at the same time. One wheel comming off the ground before the other indicates a poor weight distribution.

Do the same with the rear of the car.
If your droop has been set with a guage or measured equel each side of the car, then whatever hapeens is nothing to do with droop of the car but weight distribution.

This can be altered by moving the collars on the shocks.
This is quite an involved task and you may need to look the procedure up.
If you have any difficulty finding it............ come back. We'll help you out.
