Default could be in my head but one side sits higher?

so i slashed a tire on a dirt road the other day. i turned off the suspension, jacked the car up, and took the ruined tire off. this was on sunday, and i couldnt get another tire until today. the right rear of the car was on the jack for 2 days. when i finally let it down today, it looks like the right side is sitting higher than the left. I drove around for about 3 miles, raised and lowered the suspension a few times, and it still seems to sit higher. is there any way this is possible? did i bend the car? is the suspension messed up? HELP!!! im sorta fanatical so this is driving me crazy.

Default measure to be sure its not just in your head.

+/- 5mm from wheel to wheel is in spec. more than that and you can use a vag com to do what the 402 was designed by audi to do, which is to adjust the ride height of each wheel to the factory level.

Default It is very possible

My right rear was 1 cm higher than the other 3 wheels -- discovered by allroad2001 when he was doing my 402 mod. Make sure you are on level ground when measuring.
