A front-motor, rear-drive doorslammer will twist the chassis so that the left front and right rear get light, the right front and left rear get heavier. This is why you'll always see the right rear tire worn out on cars owned by stoplight wannabees that have an open (non-posi) differential.
Ever since I was a kid, we've been adding a leaf or two to the right rear on leaf spring cars or changing to a longer/stiffer spring on coil-equipped cars to preload the right rear and also to keep the left front down. It became easier with the advent of air shocks. You'd just bolt an air shock on the right rear only and adjust the pressure until you got two equal length black patches.
