Doesn't matter which side they're on, a bad hamstring causes you to favor that side and put more weight on the other foot, your back leans a little more to compensate and tweaks, or your hip strains working with the extra load.

I've a torn hamstring..for the last 25 years. I didn't tear a tendon I separated the belly of the muscle. I wasn't guessing.

A bad hamstring doesn't effect weight distribution as it is not a load bearing muscle.

It does effect pushing pulling .... And when you tear one you walk like a Marionette with little control of your lower leg kick out... It also leads to shin splints.
