Unhappy Ride height lower on passenger front side only - did I blow a shock?

So I went for a country drive and maybe went over a pothole or two. I didn't hear anything wrong until I got out of the car and saw that the passenger front side wheel is now tucked maybe quarter inch into the fender.

The driver's side does not show this, so it's not like it was like this all along.

Did I blow a shock? Or something more catastrophic?

I wasn't really looking for reasons to spend more money on the car so early!

Could be a number of things. Could be the control arm bushings, strut tower mount or blown strut. Jack her up and take a look. Post up pics. Goodluck

strut doesnt do ride height, its the spring that does the height. strut slows movement of suspension so its not bouncy.
