Unhappy 350z sits lower on one side

STOCK 2006 350z 95k miles. The passenger side front sits 0.5inches lower than the drivers side. The car veers VERY slightly left. If I lock the steeringwheel turning left and accelerate it will continue to drive in circles. If i lockthe steering wheel turning right it will straighten out.

Mechanic says my alignment and suspension are perfect...

WHAT GIVES????

1) Get a new mechanic/ 2nd opinion.
2) Get a free safety inspection. You don't state if front AND rear R side is lower.
3) Ask the new mechanic to check springs, struts and all bushings for signs of wear.
4) Check your tires for uneven wear. They won't lie to you.
