Default Adjustable ride hieght suspension

I have a problem on the rear of my focus In that I can wind up the saddle on the drivers side and the car still sits 5mm lower than the passenger side??

All the saddles and rubber donuts the springs sit In seem fine could It be the spring on that side has gone softer?

I know that perhaps they wouldnt need to be cock on adjustment wise from side to side but this seems way out??

Any views greatfully excepted..

Have you checked the fronts.
It could be lower at one front corner and leaning over diagonally making one side rear higher.

Thanks for the replies...

The fronts are level and the rears are level now but the drivers side Is adjusted more from underneath In order to level It..this In Itself Is not my main concern as I would expect to have a small variation In adjustment from side to side but the ammount Iv'e adjusted the drivers side to fetch It up level seems excessive?

I have wound up the drivers side about 10-12mm on the saddle and this equated to around 5mm In actual ride hieght Is this unusual?
