Seems like when I look at the rear of this car from a distance the drivers side seems a little lower than the passenger side, I noticed when it was sitting in my new driveway which is level, could it be the struts are going bad, the passenger side tire has some weird wear there are spots that are bald and some that have good tread, but as far as wear on any tires on the inside or outer edges they are all good.

Sounds like a busted coil spring.

Do you happen to have a picture of it? I'm not sure I understand completely. The strange tire wear could be due to a mis-alignment.
