Sounds more like something has bent or broken. For starters, jack that side back up and check if the coil he coil spring has broken. Check carefully particularly at the bottom and top of the coils. Anther possibility is your top or bottom spring mount has started to fail. Top is most likely. Put a wrench on the top nut of the shock in the engine bay (car on the ground) and gently try to turn the nut. If it turns easily, your top spring seat is failing and time to change ASAP before the hock punches through your hood!
