Default Muffler Tip Touching Bumper

The craziest thing happen to me and this maybe totally unrelated. A couple of months ago, I installed new motor mounts. Recently, it looks like the right-side suspension has dropped about 2" and the right bumper is resting on the tip. I've included pictures of the right and left exhaust tips for visuals. Has this ever happened to any of my fellow Rennlisters? I just bought some new Bilsteins and springs and haven't put them in yet. Nonetheless, the car rides normal with no additional bouncing or bumps. Could it be my newly installed motor mounts, the old strut or spring or what other possibilities could it be?

Looks like the left tip got loose or was jarred. Suspension should have nothing to do w/ the position and not likely to be the motor mounts either. The tips are easy to adjust, just get two 13mm sockets, loosen the pinch bolt that holds the tip to the muffler, move it til even, then tighten back the pinch bolt.

Mebbe one of the motor mounts collapsed. Jarring is a much more likely cause however...

Good excuse to go to the RS motor mounts!
