Why is one side lower? *PIC* When my car is lifted up the passenger side rear wheel hangs down lower than the driver side. Is this something I should worry about and why would it do this? Thanks.

mine is, its just like his jsut a little lss but its always sat level it only does it when its on the rack. my guess is the weight is offset on the sides so one sides pulls down on the other

its because when the panhard bar unloads the rearend move to the right (drivers side) and you having 11" wheels the wheel on the passanger side is axually hanging up on the bolts on the bump stop while the driverside (which is futher away from the body due to the panhard par) isnt...
