X5 hight differences (left side vs right side)

Today as my X5 sat in my driveway it looked a little sad. The left side looks like it is sagging. I pull it into my garage to verify it is on a level surface.

I measure the gap of the rear tires on the right and left side. The gap on the left side was smaller then the one on the right.

I guess this would be a suspension problem? I suspect springs are worn? I am not sure... Is this rare? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Austin

I know I don't have Adj. Ride Height...

lift up the floor and check that dome that's underneath the spare
