ok the car was lifted off of the ground to put the h pipe on and wen it was lowered the right side suspension never sagged it just sat strait up and doesnt go down. it is as stiff as a board too. but the left side is perfectly normal.

might have a broken spring, and you shifted it to a position where it locked itself

If it is in the rear...it would be a shock, not a strut
