If this is a coil over rear suspension I would try swapping the coil overs with each other, put the left one on the right side and vise a versa. if the sag follows the spring and shock see if the spring or shock has gone bad, if it doesn't the suspenion is preloading the chassis

Has anyone ever had to use different spring rates on the rear of a car, or had to raise lower shock mount to make a car level from side to side. Front of car sits level, rear of car is lower on dr. side with no driver and worse with driver. Thanks Brian W.
Sounds like you have a Gangster lien going on their.

I have Duster that had a 8 3/4 in it with coil overs and ladder bars, the rear housing was not back braced and ended up twisting and bending until the ladder bar brackets broke off of the housing The car would sag after running it some and I would reajust the front and raer ride hieghts, the car was talking to me and I wasn't listening to it correctly Jack the car up on a level surface and put jack stands under the rame, let the suspension hang free and measure the frame rails front and raer from the surface, measure the lower control arms at the lower ball joints,measure the rear endhousing and to the bottom of the coil over adjusters. If you see or when you measure a difference from side to side on the same components, IE lower control arm, frame rails or rear end housing then see if you can figure out why it is that way Good luck, let us know what you find BTW, I have seen a lot of cars riding that way at the races, especially the old SS suspension cars. Don't forget to check the torsion bar adjustmenst from side to side also
