Default Uneven front ride hight

Could you please park on a completely flat surface and measure the ride height for me? Just from the ground to the arch. Left and right.

Mine is perfectly level in the rear but uneven in the front. The front right sits about 1/2 inch higher than the front left. Of course the tire pressure is perfectly equal and the car is empty. Apparently every RX450h sits uneven in the front because of the heavy electric motor. But... would Lexus really design the car to be uneven? Or maybe I need to change the struts?

Mine is 1/2 different too, but why would I care? The wheels were pointing at a sharp right angle and I did not want to start the car to get them pointing straight.
