could be also because majority of the time you are the only passenger in the car.


So driver side springs and shocks wear out before the passenger side.

So if interested you can swap springs between left and right side to make the wear more even.

I don't think that alignment would even show that it's shifted.

I'm not sure if it's even possible to shift the axle.
Most likely it's your spacers rather then axle.

another thing you can do is take the spacer and the wheel from the right side and switch it with the left. See if it changes anything.

that's why I said change the wheel too.

Could be the wheel. You got to rule out one thing at a time.

This is what I would check:
1. If the off sets of the wheels are correct.
2. If the rear springs are identical
3. if the body is shifted due to a crash

Get an alignment for Christ's sakes. The driver's side could be toed out and with less camber and the passenger side could be really toed in with a bit more camber. All that would definitely explain the cause of your problem.
