wheel clearance related. is it springs or struts?
I noticed the rear of my v70 (2.4NA 2004 w/63k) seemed to be lower on one side than the other, so I took out my measuring tape and measured the wheel clearance on all of the wheels. Turns out I was right, but not what I expected.
Fronts measured equal clearance distance (some 2.5 inches or so)
My Right rear measured 2.5 inches,
My rear left wheel measured 3.5 inches!
I also measured the clearances 2x on different level surfaces, but the rear left is always about 1 inch wider than the rest (the rear left part of the chassis is 1 inch higher than the rest).
What does this mean? Spring or strut issue on all but the rear left, or is it something wrong with just the rear left? HELP!

Take it to a frame/alignment shop (most shops that do alignments can't do frame work too) and have them ck it out. They would be able to tell for sure what's going on. Something like that is not easy to diagnose by eyeballing it.
