weird 1 this

looking at the car today and noticed that either the front right is 2" lower or the rear left is 2" higher, drove it just now and no nasty noises from the front.

dont think its a spring thats snapped but will have a better look in the morning.

its in need of a left p bush and some rear beam mounts but cant see this being the problem

springs are fine,if the beam was dead would it be stuck in one position hence up at one corner?

mines been the same since i got it. Cant find anything wrong and mot never found anything.

Only thing i noticed is the anti-roll bar was over to one side, but slackened it off and prised it back and it stayed. Car still squint though haha. I think its the shock
