Recently I have been doing my own car repair and trying to learn.

Yesterday I jacked up the rear side of the car and I noticed that the gap between the tires and the body is different on both sides. One side of the gap was as large as an iphone max and the other had a gap to about 2/3 of the iphone.

I had the car down, and the gap was about 1 in difference.

Which component is the most likely issue here?

Thanks

 

Isn't this the dreaded lean? Don't worry about it.

 

Measure after rolling to a stop ... versus measuring after jacking up and then setting down (without rolling forward to settle suspension).

 

KDSS lean, very common. The passenger side is lower than the driver side

 

What year is the make?

 

if it bothers you theres ways to address it.
one is to change the spring.

 

I have a slight KDSS-Lean as well. Annoying as hell to look at but no effects with driving.
