Default suspension question

Have a 94 coupe, 36k. The other day I noticed the car didn't look level. I measured the distance from the ground to the top edge of the wheel wells, all were right at 28" except the left front which sets about 3/4" lower. I have checked this a couple of times after driving the car, doesn't vary. Suspension and shocks are original. Any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks

Keith

Could be the trim line adjustment is off. Refer to the service manual its requires illustrations to get the proper measurements. Just curious, is there equal amounts of thread showing on each of the front shock upper attach?

The amount of threads appear to be the same. The front left shock is compressed more than the right side.

Maybe your frame is "tweeked".
