Uneven Rear End
I recently put two new rear tires on my 1996 C4. Tires are exact matches and the same size, brand and type (Nitto NT555 315/35/ZR17).
When I got the car back, I noticed the right side sits about a 1/2" higher than the left side.
I've never noticed this until after the new tires were put on, maybe it was like that before and I just never really looked closely.
What would cause this? I'm not completely confident in the business who put the tires on so could this have been caused by the mounting of the new tires?
Thank you.

Go find yourself a section of highway with "rumble-strips" on each side of the traffic lanes and hit the "rumble-strips" with each side of the car for a short while a couple times. That should settle the suspension easily! A couple car lengths a couple of times should be sufficient!
