Does a blown shock sit lower?

For a while the rear drivers side of my car has sat a LITTLE lower than the other side, the wheel gap on the pass side is maybe 1/3 inch higher and I heard through the grapevine that it might be a blown shock? Anyone know if there is any truth to that?

Thanks

btw I just realized that my 70lb subwoofer sits on the drivers side of the trunk when it's in it's box so that might be why...

No it dosent feel like it's bouncy but I think I might just be retarded cause my sub and my biggest amp both sit on the drivers side

This is your answer. Give the springs time to settle in. Might take a week or so..
