Gents, so I've got a 1986 defender 90, chassis and suspension all new a few years ago, I've suddenly notices the rear passenger side body, ( roof to ground) is approximately 35mm lower than the drivers side, making it look a little off.
Rear passenger roof to floor 178cm, Drivers roof to floor 181.5cm

I fitted a new pair of rear springs which cured it for about a day. ( and yes i fitted them in the correct sides)
I can't see any fluid leak from the rear shocks.
Nothing heavy on the inside of the car to cause this.
Fuel tank is half full ( drivers side) so this would help if nothing else.
The front is level, no difference

But before I go down the expensive change the rear shocks out, just wondering if there is another obvious reason for this.
 
Why do you think it is the shocks? Are they gas shocks? Do they expand on their own or are they oil filled and stay static? If the latter they won’t impact ride height.
