One side needs lowering(or raising)

Wino24

Hi all....I need to lower on side of my bug....or raise one. When you look at it from the rear you can see one side is higher than the other. I didn't see in my Bentley's if it says what the "factory" height is. So, if there is a standard or normal height could someone please tell me what that is? I guess I need to see which side is closer to that height and adjust the other side up or down. I've never done this adjustment so I'm a bit nervous. Any help/ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

X2 on checking the shocks first.
Worst case scenario you have a sagging torsion bar
