when i am desperate, it can be helpful to swap parts from left to right and see when the problem switches sides.

you might also try starting simple and work up, for example start with the chassis on a flat surface and measure the height of the lower arm surface then compare axle heights and the top of the upper arm.

people did mention the springs being sacked, but additional shims above the upper arm can remove any droop and isolate that. any extra or missing shims between the upper and lower arms will make things uneven.
