I was looking at the radius arms and drop brackets because of something I read in a post and I noticed that the left and right rear arms are located in different locations on the drop bracket.
The pass side is in the upper most hole and the driver side is in the lower hole.
Don't know why this would be this way, I didn't install these parts. What does this do and why would it be different?
?:?

my guess is whoever installed those may have had bronco lean and corrected it by putting one arm lower than the other in the bracket. Not sure if having them in different slots will hurt anything though.

So is this takes care of the dreaded "Bronco lean" ?
I don't have any issues with the driveability or suspension.

Ideally you should fix it at the bushing side on the axle. I don't know if there are any longterm down sides to the way it's set up now. I guess if your not having any trouble and your not gonna be in to bushings for any reason you could probably leave it alone.
