your left shocks might be blown. check if there is fluid leaking from there.

you could also check the the upper ball joint or the bump stop also or you could have beant the spring. Hads a freind with the same prob his was just a matal peice that go's on the strut that wore out so you might wana check that out to.,

WTF is the ri(d)e side
right
well over time **** happens like my car(eg hb) has subs in the back and my car looks like I jacked up my front end but its worth seeking peoples alarms go off

the best thng to do is take the wheel of and visually inspect it for loose worn or incorrect parts or do a bounce test to see if ur springs or shocks are bad

well there's only 2 contact points
the shock tower, and control arms, they could be bent or dented very rare unless accident has occurs, or your shocks and springs are bad get a freinds shock and put it on see what happens
