Default car sits lower on one side.

Yesterday I realized that my car sits lower on the driver side than it does on the passenger side. I have been experiencing shaking while accelerating and have tried new axles, tie rods ball joints ect ect I was wondering why my car would be sitting lower on one side it is lower in the driver side rear to. I can hardly fit two fingers in my front driver fender well but on the passenger two fit easily. I have garbage tockico blues and springs. They are pretty old could these bee the problems. Also could anything be bent causing this. Thanks.

Thanks guys for the quick reply's I thought that it had to be a blown strut. Now for the big issue of my idle my car almost dies then will jump to 1k drop and do this over and over until it will stay at 8-9k it really annoys me. It is a usdm gsr built iavc is doing its job the car seems to do this when it has an electrial load such as the rad fan switching on. The car is very hard to start cold you have to give it gas for a little until it will stay running I am going to contact the place where I got it tuned but I am sure that they will have a wait time.

I have been told that it could be that I have an omni power tb which has no idle adjustment screw which could be choking my motor from air at idle. I have no idea.
