Height difference in rear.

Hi everyone! I am new to the boards here. I have a 2002 2 door Gt. I found out after pulling out the trunk carpet that the right rear quarter was replaced at some point. I don't see any other damage on the car aside from the outer quarter panel, Inner looks fine, trunk floor looks fine. Had my boss look at it as well. The rr side sits lower than the rest of the car by about 1/2 inch. Even with it up on the hoist there is still a difference with the wheels hanging. Could there be a difference in struts if a used one was installed from say a gt v.s. an se car? or 2 door v.s. 4 door? Any input is appreciated!
Thanks!
 


This seems to be pretty common on a lot of these cars. I know my RR sat lower than the rest with my stock struts. I don't know why this is, but I don't think it's caused by the repair.

Hmm, that is pretty odd that you had the same issue. Like I said even with the car up on the hoist and the wheels hanging, there was still a .5" difference in the wheel gap. It's probabaly not a big deal I just notice little things like that because I am picky, haha.
