Default Uneven Rear Suspension

I noticed recently that my drivers rear sits about a fingers gap lower than the passenger side. At first I thought the shocks were going out so I replaced them but it didnt make a difference. Im sitting on Swift SpecR springs with OEM shocks. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Worn out bushings maybe?

Did you preload the suspension when you installed it?

yes I did. The thing is, when I first swapped the suspension, the gap was even. I just now recently noticed the change. I was on coilovers so I thought maybe something had come loose causing the difference. But when I took off the rears both sides were adjusted the same. I ended up going back to OEM shocks and lowering springs, and still have the same problem.

I'm having the same issue with my Swifts. The driver side is 1 inch lower than the passenger.

its the fact that when both sides had the same settings on the coils that the drop was uneven. wouldnt the drop be equal on both sides if the coils were both set to the same height?

I want to know why Im having this problem with both a coilover setup and a shock/spring setup
