Hi welcome Jim to the club.

what makes you think its gone?

took it to my m8 who is a mechanic and he says its prob that also its sitting on its front end at drivers side looks lowered lol, need to find a place to fix it soon and hope its kinda cheap ( as if ) and it needs special tools to be fixed which i have not got

might be posable to reset your torsion bars. i belive the car should sit a little lower at the front any way. measure from floor to top of arch, all round. both backs should be same and fronts abot 20mm less.


so you could be lucky, and only take a very short time, have a look here
