I tried to move the spring but they wouldn't move.I'm not sure 100% though cause you didn't tell me if I had to do this with the car jacked up or not.
Oh and my ride hight is 27 1/2 inches in the front and 26 1/2 in the rear(If i did it right)

To much movement I would say. Pic 1 below shows mine on the ground with only slight feel of flex in the rubber while bouncing. Try jacking up the car for that wheel and let the wheel hang down and if the collar has let go then the spring should try and pull it down through the mount and crush the fingers.
You should be able to move it, second pic I am using one hand and was able to move it 1/4" while taking the pic. Takes a bit but doable.
My 01 with PCS quicky measurements are all around 28" +/- 1/4" on un level gravel road but I remember last check they were the same/close enough on garage floor. Note in pic 3 that I should be measuring up through the center of the hub for consistency.
If I guess from earlier posts that mount is the one with the bad camber in the rear.
As to the fronts, they could also be out due to bad ball joints or weak control arm bushings allowing the lower part of the wheel to push out. Do you know how to check them?
However, an alignment shop should have checked for this when running into troubles?

For the fun of it I jack up the frame and let the tire hang and pic'd the mount again under weight pic #4
