2010 X5 E70 3.0d - Front Passenger Suspension Height

[Sm[]key]

Well after my crank shaft pulley issues I took the front of the car off axel stands, in doing so the passenger front suspension was sagging slightly around an inch.

I drove it a few hundred miles yesterday but no improvement seen.

Would a knackered strut cause this?

Spring ok ? Could have lost part of a coil as that sets the height though the top mount can fall apart too if the rubber part separates (not sure if the x5 is that type )but that shouldn't affect the height .
It could also be a result of the rear air suspension level height issues.

I don’t have a jack where I work, but will check when I get home at weekend. My intial thoughts were the end of the spring has fractured, but couldn’t see with the car on the ground.
