Default suspension wackiness

the passenger side of my car sits higher than the driver side on my car (93 civic ex 2dr). i can tell because the wheel well gap is larger on the pass side.
ive had people look at it at the dealer as well as in tire shops and no one seems to find anything wrong with it. its still rolling on stock springs/shocks so im wondering if that could be the problem. could 1 side of the the stock susp begin to give out after 10 years?

im planning on a susp upgrade come spring so hopefully that will fix the problem

Happened a few times on different cars to me, only after i worked on them for more than a day if they were jacked to one side only. My 65stang stayed like that for a long ass time, but the suspension is ancient on that.

Its probably uneven suspension wear which is normal for a 10 year old car.

Since the drivers side always has weight in it more often than the passenger side does then it wil wear like that.

The suspension upgrade you are planning will indeed solve it but if you want a temporary solution you may want to look into replacing the stock springs with another set of stocks...used is cheap....and getting a replacement set of stock struts...again good used stoc ones are cheap.
