my rear is one side higher than the other?!

i looked at my car today and found out that my rear is one side sitting higher dan the other. one side is 2 finger gap, n other is like 1/2finger gap. i dropped on tein, with agx for about 2months now. could harsh turning be the reason? or will it go away after a while. what should i do?

if you have the same components on both side and if you are parked on a 100% flat area and one side is lower then take it back to where you got it put on at. Something is messed up.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Its known that the left side sits lower than the right.
Weight dist. of the car, everything is on the left.
If the difference is large, look for blown shocks.

WHAT SPRINGS YOU GOT, IF YOU GOT LIKE AEROSPEEDS OR DROPE ZONE, THEN ITS THE SPRINGS. i THOUGHT YOUR SPRINGS SET THE HIGHT OF THE CAR NOT THE SHOCKS, I COULD BE WRONG

I am right. this was on a TSB a while back. the engine, you and the gas tank all favor the left side. Even with you out of the car, the engine and gas tank shift a little weight off center, resulting in the left side lean. Its normal.

we sit on the left side of our cars...and most time we're alone...so obviously the driver side is gonna settle more therefore be lower
