Default ride height different on one side

the rear passengers side on my car is higher than all the other sides.

not much, but at least an inch. Its noticable if you look for it.

Just wondering if this is a normal occurance??

I have stock springs. not lowered or anything. stock suspension.

the only thing ive done is a rear disc swap. but I dont see how that would affect this.

Anyone else have the same problem?

yeah my ***** all crooked too

I think over time (20 years) my car has "settled". I am also stock suspension, and as far as i know original to this car that now has 200+ thousand miles.

Check your front drivers side I bet its lower then the rest of the car too and I think that is in correalation with the rear passenger being higher.

yeah, your right about that.
the drivers side is a little lower than all the rest.
I guess it is just the 20 years wear and tear.

x2 on tightening the suspension once the weight is on the wheels. Also, old shocks/struts will make a car lower.
