Left Front Sitting Low

I have a 90 560sec. Spent way too much repairing this and not enough time driving it. Noticed today that the left front is sitting lower than the rest. Was wondering why I heard a scrape taking the exit ramp at 60. Any suggestions?

Or you may have a shock that took a dump. Nitrogen filled shocks affect ride height on MBs. It's in the book.
