Wheel well clearence

I bought my 89 sc about 2 years ago, and i've always noticed that on the back passengers side wheel well, there is about a half an inch more clearance between the tire and the top of the wheel well than the rest of the tires. I installed some s/t lowering springs a while ago and there's still a clearance problem. Any idea what would cause this? Is my frame hooped or is it fixable?
 
Did you?

Install new Spring perches? They have a tendancy to weaken with time and make the (_I_) end of the car sag and possibly sag unenven. Makes it look like you either got a bunch of S()t in the trunk or weak springs.

Another cause could be a worn set of bushings. Perhaps more worn on the passenger side than on the driver side. I'm thinking maybe the lower control arm bushings.
 
Did you Lower the car yourself?.. If so.. you have the ability to do any of the fixes mentioned above.. :)
