Default Rear o/s dropped 2”

Hi I had problems with a clunking from the rear of my ztt and had the chance to take a quick look today and noticed that that side had dropped when I looked, anyone more knowledgeable than me have any ideas what to look at, also when driving and going over a bump or round a left turn hard I get a rubbing like the tyre hitting the inner wing
Thanks

Check the angle of the rear wheel, sounds like upper arm failure. If not the rear spring.

That's something you have to decide. DMGRS also stocks them and there are some on ebay
