Default one corner higher...

I've noticed for some time now that the height of my rear passenger side is about 3/4" higher than the rest of the 4 corners. The other 3 all measure roughly about 26 1/2" high (from ground to fender) and the one in question is riding at 27 1/4" high. The "new" struts/shocks have about 13K miles on them now. The springs are still stock. Could the higher one be defective? If so, wouldn't it be lower than the rest instead of higher?

I just measured mine. 25.5 on 3 corners. 26 on Right Rear. Weight distribution & fatigue?

Default others have reported that in the past...

my '01 QC was like that stock, with lowering springs as well. drove me to get coilovers to fix it [corner balancing issues aside], and the right rear creeps up over time.

though I have seen other quattros and fwds without the problem...
