I have observed at the rear of my dry suspension mini that the ride height sits higher on the right side than it does on the left. I'm uncertain of donut age and I don't have hi-lo's. Is this a common issue and is there a method to remedy the issue?

The left knuckle joint may have worn through the nylon cup and started to wear into the trailing arm.
If it hasn't worn too much you can just replace the knuckle joint but depending on the amount of wear it may need some araldite to support the taper of the nylon cup. If there is a lot of wear then replace the trailing arm.

Make sure the right side trailing arm is greased up and not ceased. I've seen this many times where the arm itself is ceased and won't move about.

Could also due to the front left suspension having issues as well. Maybe worth a check?
