For the front-end,
Yes, our cars' right-side is 5-10mm lower than left-side, due to our steering- wheel at the wrong side, ie RHD.
Most car were designed for LHD. So the engine was slant to right-side.
The right-side was already carry more weight than left-side at LHD.
Even worst, our RHD has to move those steering-mechanical to right side, adding even more weight.
Don't know if it also relate to the anti-force of engine-rotation. Saw from some magazines, that this anti-force is putting stress/weight ONLY to right-strut.
As a result, you saw the gap on right side is narrower than left side.
