Unhappy Volvo 240 supported suspension

I have a 1992 Volvo 240 that I purchased last month, and I have noticed that one of the back suspension/springs is lower than the other. The car is not yet working so I have no idea what might be the cause. Can I use a different suspension from a different car on my Volvo? Im new here I hope I know what I'm doing now.

How much lower is it? No, I wouldn't recommend springs from another car, and springs should be replaced in pairs... You can get 240 used springs pretty easily...

We don't have spare parts for old Volvos here in my country, and yeah if I'll be changing them by replacing them from a different then I'll be doing them in pairs..

Before you go replacing your springs, check your rear trailing arm bushings. A failed bushing will cause sagging in the rear. Perhaps one of them has failed.
