Another ride height question

I just had my '83 SC aligned & corner balanced. It handles 100% better than before. My problem is that the driver rear fender height is 1.5" lower than the passenger rear fender height. It looks like a 400 lb. dude riding in a Ford
Pinto to me.The guys at the shop are very knowledgeable but say that it is hard to fix this & keep the corner balance within specs. Any suggestions?

That will mess up the corner-balance.

Did the shop do the balance with weight in the driver's seat?

When you get in the car, the heights will change so you must have someone re-check them with you in it.

Something might be wrong with your fenders, 1.5" is pretty far off. The drivers side should be about .5" higher than the passenger side if you drive alone most of the time.
Mine is.

Put a level on your bumper.
