TX bad shock?

new to the club here, and had a question about the rear driverside suspension on my '05 Rx-8. the car sits significantly lower on the driverside rear wheel. has anybody else had a problem with this? i checked out the spring and didnt see any breaks or cracks. dont know much about cars so anything feedback would help, thanks!

both springs and shocks play a role in ride height but sagging springs are far more rare, it is usually caused by a bad shock. And you can have a failing shock that is not leaking, I did.

Where in Texas are you?

OP, Please in future post your threads in correct sub forums, your 2005 RX-8 is a series 1.
