Something maybe wrong

I have a 2002 LX and i have noticed that Recently that it sits at diffrent hieghts. Sometimes it looks slammed, then at other times it looks as if it is riding to high.

Anyone else notice this?

Are you looking at it from different angles? Maybe the car is not always level...it won't just change heights on you, and if anything only go lower (settling) depending how new it is.

It may just be irregularities in the pavement that are hard to see when you're standing above the car. Asphalt pavement often gets high and low spots as it ages. Try parking on concrete, it generally stays flatter.

Is something wrong with a suspension component or is it more serious than that?

Did you try turning it around and seeing if it leaned the other way?

Rims can't get bent without some kind of trauma. Did you run over something to cause damage to rims which might have also damaged suspension? Bent rims don't make a car lean.
