Car sitting a little higher on one side

My TA has been sitting about 1/2-3/4 inch higher on the passanger side at the rear of the car. The front is about perfect. I swapped the shocks on the back today to see if the driver side is worn out, but it was the same 1/2+ inch after the swap. What else could effect this? All Modes in the sig.

Thanks,
Kevin

Spring sag... Or installed wrong springs on the wrong corners.. It's be a normal for the driver's side to sit a HAIR higher, when you're not in the car..

How long has it been since you installed the springs? Shocks would not cause this, they do not support the weight of the vehicle.

Springs have been on for around 5 years i think. I don't remember if they were labeled which side? Do you think i should swap springs around on the rear to see if that sag follows it? If so i would have to replace all 4 or just the back two?

Swapped the springs on the back and now i am around 1/4 inch higher on the pass. side. So close you wouldn't be able to tell just looking at it.

Thanks for the info!
