Default Height different

I noticed I have a 1 inch height different from side to side on
the rear of 76 vet. Is there any adjustment to correct that?

Depends on why. It could be so many reasons. Frame straight? Measure all around the car

If it is due to the body? You may be able to compensate with shims under the body mounts.

If due to spring differences, you may need new springs. Or you may have to adjust the
Z height in the rear with longer springs or cut coils in the front
