are you trying to say the left front wheel has more positive camber or that the car has not fully settled yet from being on the lift? Please clarify

If you don't have Coil-overs the only thing I really think is the left front spring came out of the rubber isolator pockets and the spring twisted. With a factory spring that is impossible without a spring compressor. If you have lowering springs it could but they would have to be really low springs or you/someone cut a coil or two off. But like the previous poster said, were you on level ground when you made your measurements?

stock springs..and ive measured them all over the place to make sure it was level..my driveway..middle of the road..a lot of places..and the left is higher than the right...im hoping to put some revised 350z springs in so i hope that would just solve the issue

This might seem stupid, but are the tire sizes the same L/R?
