Re: 340 help needed
Got it sideways and had a blowout? Or got it sideways and hit a curb ending in a blowout?
If it's the latter you've probably bent something, however i'm not the best person to give you answers regarding lopsided suspension
Can you get some pics up of the underneath?

Re: 340 help needed
Which side did you hit? Presumably it still drives?
Get the wheels off it should be obvious what you have done. I suspect you have bent the axle, but do check the rear of the rear spring mounts, could you have knocked one of these off if they are very corroded?
The shock should not make any difference unless somehow it is sticking low, the gas pressure doesn't add any height to the car.
Lowering blocks...hmmm, turned the bolt box into a paralellagram?
