Post Front Axle Shifted on Stock JK

So I've owned my 2018 2 door JK for about a year now, and have just recently noticed the passenger (NOT driver) side wheel sticking out about an inch more than the driver side. My JK is completely stock, so I'm unsure as to how this could've happened. I haven't taken it offroading (yet...) or did anything crazy to make the front axle shift, part of me thinks its been like this since I bought it but I have no idea. Any ideas of what could've happened? My only fix in mind is actually getting a lift to counteract the offset... lol

Front coils sagging over time. All you need is an adjustable track bar that is adjustable shorter than stock.

How many miles? Completely stock i doubt a 2018 model would be sagged that much. Have you measured to see exactly how much the axle is shifted? Stock they are shifted but 1” seems excessive.
