'06 X3 w/ 24k leans to driver's side, spring or strut?

Parked on a flat surface my '06 X3 leans to the driver's side some in the rear. It has 24k miles so is that too soon for strut or shock failure? There is no leaking oil on the outside of it so weak spring? Anyone have this?

Very interesting..........I have the same thing on my '04 X3. Both rear springs were broken but I have replaced them with new and guess what? No difference whatsoever! the car still leans slightly. It's difficult to see how it could be the dampers. Bent anti-roll bar is a possibility. Let me know if you find the answer.

She's going in for an alignment Thursday July 3rd and we'll see what the tech says...
