Default Left front lower by 3/4"

Ok, I just realized my left front sits about 3/4" lower than the right front. Could this be a blown shock? Should I also replace the spring or re-use it?

I had this same thought. It looked like this in a few different areas. I drove into my friends garage. And it was back to normal.

Does the front left seem to hit harder on bumps? Anything that points to a blown shock?

The bumps feel the same on both sides. In cold weather, I hear the suspension squeaking on that side. I think it's a bushing making that sound. The ball joints (upper and lower) are fine.

The steering is also stiff.

Of course it's on level ground!!! I find the same problem no matter which direction I park in my garage.

Just take pics with a big of an angle to the right

You buy them used at all? You check over the springs and struts?

Sounds odd.
