Front passenger side suspension lowered after loud bang
Hello I am very new here, anyway, I was driving my car going about 10mph, and i heard a loud bang by the front passenger side wheel well. I continued to drive it about a block to my parking lot and while driving it felt very unsafe. I don't believe it was shaking while i was driving or anything. But once i got to my lot, I looked at the wheel and noticed the suspension was lower. Anyone have any idea what this is?

Welcome to the forum!
The few possibilities that immediately come to mind are a broken spring, spring perch on the strut, strut mount, or a broken upper or lower ball joint.
With something this obvious, removing the wheel should quickly reveal the problem.

or compliance bushing or ball joint?
I think it would be best if you got under the car and looked.

Yeah no way that was a blown ball joint without a sudden "WTF My wheel doesn't seem to be as upright like it should".
I also think you suffered a spring failure.

Or broken fork bolt. Turn the steering all the way to the right and take picture inside the wheel well then post here.
