Default Tweaked car?

Just finished assembling the 417 and noticed that, when the shock preloads are the same, there is unequal ride height left to right by approx 0.5mm, which is giving me a tweaked car.

The only way to rectify is by preloading the battery side shocks much more than the ones on the other side. Now the ride height is equal and there's no more tweak.

What could be causing this? Also what would be the drawbacks of running the car the way it is right now as explained above?

Anyone experience this?
thx
