Lowered my S430

Why is the right rear corner is slightly lower than the left? My tech said its my car. He said there is only one adjustment on the rear. Is this true?

Yes, one adjustment point in the rear. Front has adjustment at each strut.

He is saying it's normal for the car to be at different heights if you are measuring on a sloped surface. There is nothing wrong with your car , it is trying to compensate for the slope

Ok, on normal height the RT rear is still lower about 1/4 of an inch. When I push the button to raise the car, the other 3 corner goes up but the Rt. rear just a little bit. What could be wrong?
