Default Back end is not siting even, need help?

This winter I spun out into a curb and knocked my back tire. I was looking at the back end today and it looks as though my passenger side (the side that hit the curb) is sitting a little high. I measured the gap from the ground to my water guards on each side and it's about 10 mm higher on the passenger side. Could I have bent something? Any ideas?

First of all, make sure you're on perfectly even ground. Its possible that you bent the frame or a suspension arm causing that problem... a friend had the same thing happen in his civic. Take a very close look at your rear suspension and subframe, and if it looks ok, take it to an allignment shop and have them look through it. If that were the case, you would almost certainly feel a difference in the handling of the car. Does it handle like crap, or does it feel fine?

I measured it in my garage so it was even, the car pulls very slightly to one side but it handles fine. I just replaced a control arm in the front so I will be at an alignment shop this week anyways.

thanks for the responses guys
