Default Leaning to one side

I've seen numerous posts on this subject related to air suspension LSs, but only one on spring/strut cars. My 2008 LS is noticeably lower on the driver's side. I thought maybe a weak spring so I replaced the complete strut assembly with one from another LS that was sitting fine. It did not any difference. I think I checked bushings and control arms well enough, but couldn't find any issues. What am I missing?? Car has only 90k miles and never been wrecked.

If you're a big man, heavy. It's possible that both front and rear springs are weakened. Maybe you replaced the wrong one.

It's definitely an issue in the left rear.

Do you have anything in the trunk, left side and heavy? Or on floor behind driver's seat?

Nothing in the trunk or on the floor inside the car. All same size tires and air pressures at 35 psi.
