left front of car sags?

ok, I have koni shocks and progress springs which are a 2.0 drop. For some reason my car just started sagging in the front left of my car and it feels like I'm leaning to the left of my car all the time I don't know if the left front Koni blew or what but something happened and can't figure it out. It also makes a wierd creaking noise when I turn the steering wheels left/right. Although it doesn't feel blown so I am lost completely!
help please.............

either you have a sagging spring, or your front struts are blown. That craking noise is one indication of it.

Look underneath the car and look around the struts to see if any of them are leaking, torn bushings, etc... Also you can remove them and see how the pressure is. If it is rouch, then they need to be replaced.

Thanks for the advise but I checked and I don't think it's a blown strut, I will have to take em out I guess I check the springs and figure something out. damn it
