Default C4 Rear Ride Height

I just changed tires on a my1987 coupe . I did jack the car from the rear differential. now the rear height is 1/2 inch from the left to the right side . I did drive the car around for a short time and have checked rear spring. everything looks ok, but rear is not level .

You might get more responses if you post this in the C4 section.

If you have the Callaway coil over suspension, you will have different ride height specs.
Also, specify your model, and suspension designation, FE1 Z51, Z52??

It's not unusual to have different ride heights on each side on the C4. But if you're sure you didin't have it before...you may have some bad differential carrier bushings. Also, NEVER jack a C4 from the diff area! Jacking points are on each side of the car at the rocker panels. Look down below the doors and you will see "jack here" in the fore and aft areas.
