Lower control arm angle

Replaced my poly ones with rod ends and noticed the angles are the same as before but the angles are different on each side. I've got 4 degrees on passenger and 6 on driver side. I have adjustments on the rear end to move them but it's been fine hooking up. Car is stock height not lowered.

Control arm angle is relative to ride height. Does the car have coil-overs or stock springs and also does it have an anti roll bar on it?

Stock springs, qa1 sa and a Spohn anti-roll drag bar.

If the car is working I would not worry about it.

It sounds like the car is leaning or something. I mean, think about it, if the rear end is square (including the LCA mounts), and the body is square, then the car is leaning to one side.
