Lower on one side

Whilst messing about in my garage today I looked at the van and it looked slightly lower on the left (Passenger side) so I measured it, and sure enough its 1" lower on the left, never noticed it before and whilst driving it I can't tell and it still drives fine.
I visually checked everything and all seems well, but clearly something isn't, has anyone any idea's, the 1" is between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch.

The units are on the drivers side, I have just measured the rear and both side's are equal at 5" between the tyre and the arch, I have looked at the coil spring and it looks fine, but its rusty and it may be cracked, don't know.
