Default Lopsided LeMans

well, my issue is my car leans to the driver side pretty bad. when i jack the front up, the left front tire drops much lower then the right front. it has taken a pretty hard lick on the left front when i had a brake issue (or lack thereof) and had to but it in a ditch. nothing really looks bent though. the only issue is that my swaybar link is junk. the bushings are gone. will this allow the car to sit lopsided? if not, where do i start measuring to see whats bent frame wise? the control arms don't look bent, the frame doesn't show signs of being bent either. i am stumped. and any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Look at the spring you may have broken it.

The sway bar link may affect the front end if one side is ok and the other missing, you should remove the good side or repair the broken side. You said one side drops further than the other when jacked up, is the link good or bad on that side? How much further? When the front end is jacked up and the A arms drop the sway bar will swing down, the link might stop it from going as far as the side with the bad or missing link, make both sides the same.
