Hi all , this is going to sound dumb !!
standard 04 jimny , no lift , the rear drivers side appears to sit 3cm lower than passenger side ( measured from bottom of wheel arch lip )
and the right hand rear wheel appears to have moved a few cm to the left ! top of the wheel appears to be further in than the bottom.
Nothing obvious appears broken , snapped or bent , any ideas what to look at in greater detail
Drives fine by the way !!

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)
If you can jack the body up so that it lifts the vehicle and extends the rear suspension. This involves jacking from the bodywork/ chassis, so please be careful if you get underneath. Once it's lifted have a good look at each spring and axle / body mounts for damage. Check the spring ends for missing coils or cracks etc.
ITS possible the Jimny has a natural lean, but ours is perfectly level so not sure why some report this. So my suggestion is based on looking for damage rather than if a lean is correct or not.

Does it have the standard pan hard rod ?
check the upper spring mounting points
also pan hard mounting point at chassis end and the U channel diagonal from
pan hard up to chassis cross member
