Struts and Camber

First, If the CL were to have a failing strut on one side, would that side sag or appear lower than the other side? I wasn't sure if the ride height depends on struts or solely on the springs.

Second, I have a problem with camber in the rear. But the side that appears lower (see first question) is off more in the camber spec. So, could a failing strut contribute to that camber spec? In other words, since the car is sagging on that one side, is that pushing the camber out of spec more?

Eibach Pro-Kit installed 1 1/2 years.

could be, if you push down on your car, it should bounce up once and stop, if it keeps bouncing a little (or a lot), get some suspension work man!

it could, possibly, throw of camber, but dont quote me on that one.

pushing on a car with your body weight doesn't move the shock piston fast enough for it to be any valuable test
