Default bent car-help?

I have a 93 5.0 that sits about one inch lower (front and back) on the left side than on the right. I replaced the springs and shocks with the eibach pro springs and tokico shocks and struts thinking it would help but it didn't. The chasis seems to be straight because like I said, the whole left side is one inch lower. It appears that the previous owner ran over something on the passanger side because I have had to replace the fuel tank due to a large dent on the passanger side and the radiator support has been bent up on the passanger side also. The car also drives straight with no problem. Could this be a suspension problem????? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

some cars just sit lower on one side. my truck sits lower on the driver side by a 1/2 inch cause of the weight of the fuel tank. your car might be heavier on the passenger side. if it drives normal dont worry about it

no, the car is in great shape, already gone through it, it just sits lower for some reason. i dont mind it too much because with caster camber plates adjusted corrcetly on it my tire wear is fine but it is a little annoying, and sometimes it is worse than others. it goes from 1/4" lower to a full inch.?.?.
