   'Ello friends, just a quick one... I've noticed my drivers side rear shock seems very loose, like if you jack it up you can move the wheel up and down on the shock very easy, The bushes seem okay, no play in them. The passenger side shock is stiff, you can't move the wheel up and down easy when it's jacked up.
   
   Now my car has always been around 10mm lower on the drivers side than the other, I thought it was lowered dodgy but could this shock be causing it? Because it's "Collapsed"?
   
   To me it seems a very stupid question because I know it sits on them but if there's one thing I've learned since I've worked on cars, always ask for a second opinion before you replace something lol
