Left rear of car 1 inch higher than right

If it's an inch or less, perfectly normal for suspension to settle that way, engine torque does it over time. I've owned several V8 cars that have been that way. They've actually had up to two inches of stagger when they were really old.
If you don't believe engine torque can do this to springs, go find an old dump truck or concrete truck, they get massive leans as they get older.
If it's an inch or more, poke your head under the low side and look for a broken spring. It will be obvious with a torch.
It could also be a stuck shock, but they are pretty noticeable when driving, the car tends to lurch around the stuck shock. Way to test for a stuck shock is to merely jump up and down on rear bumper. If one side is stuck, it won't move much.
