One leg longer than the other

One leg longer than the other
Hello fellow Volvo drivers,
I lifted the front end of my Volvo, a 744T, with a floor jack and as the front tires lifted off the ground in all it's menial glory noticed that the driver's side wheel/tire/suspension was lower off the ground than that of the passenger's side. When I think into the the issue, to whatever severity, I consider that the majority of my turns are right (that's how the infrastructure was planned). Regardless, I wonder if perhaps the suspension in regards to the spring/shock absorber which I have not previously touched or inspected ever has lost it's rigidity over time. I am at a loss as to the reason via personal experience hence I ask if anyone here has experienced this issue. Any thoughts and insight is quite appreciated. Thank you.

i work on cars a lot and some time if the jake is slightly off centered or the ground isant quite level one tire will come off the ground before the other...if you want to check measure from the top of the tire to the fender well, i mean if its bothering you that much.
