BLOWN strut!!! MAN i dont know for sure if i blown the strut yet!!! 
BUt my rear driver side is much lower then the passanger rear..
I put tein s tec springs in about a month ago it might still be settling
but i dont think it will settle one finger of gap more then the other side!!!
No leaking yet how can u tell for sure if the strut is blown???
Since the strut has so many peices can i just keep all peice and just change the
SHOCK ABSORBER UNIT -- thats the only part that is broken when the struts are broken right??

Rep Power: 374 Well when I blew a strut I heard it making a clunking noise when I took corners and I could see the fluid all over the side of it. Where your springs installed correctly?

Rep Power: 374 Well thats a good thing your struts are not blown. But it won't last much longer. Our stock struts are not that strong and do not last long when a lot of pressure is but on them. I've got nuespeed race springs and I'm hoping that my struts are going to last for a few months.

Rep Power: 0 yea. your stock shocks probably won't last you that much longer. you can tell when your shocks are blown if you hear some kind of "watery" sound from that area. and also, if you have someone look from the outside of the car, it should be quite obvious cuz your wheel would just go up and down like crazy cuz there's nothing there to absorb the shock from the bumps. btw, it's not exactly an "okay" thing that your springs are sagging. something could still be wrong cuz it shouldn't be sagging like that, but u never konw. same thing happened on my friends maxima...we took the assembly apart 4 different times to check it out, and nothing seemed wrong. so yea..sometimes sh*t like this just happens.
