More seriously, either something is broken, rusted through or weak on the left side, or something is "jacked up" on the right side, causing that side to be higher than normal.
Some things that cause one side to be lower:
- Broken or weak spring
- Broken spring shackle (if the issue is at the rear)
- If air shocks or "load levelers" are present, failed/leaking air shock or leveler
- Seized shock absorber at full compression (full bump)
- Missing spring stiffener if those are used.
- Rusted through front spring seat with spring mis-positioned.
- Parked with one corner in a pothole.
- Seized shock absorber at full extension (full droop)
- Spring stiffener installed on one side only (the other one fell out?)
- Parked with one corner on a parking bumper/speed bump
Are there ride quality issues? Any other observations that are relevant?

are all the tries the same size? i ask because my sisters Grand Prix had some height issues and she was too cheap to get new tires so she cobbled together a set of junkyard tires of different sizes and drove on them. its stupid i know but her cheapness overpowered my nagging to get the right tires. she always has money to buy DVDs though but when her car needs love shes "broke" lol
