First of all shocks don't hold a car up the springs do. Now that's out of the way you would be surprised how easily a control arm can bend under the right conditions. As for the shock try bouncing the frontend on that side and see if it bounces up and down. If it does then the shock is working and you have bent something. Could be the control arm. I didn't look at your profile do you have a 1G or 2G? Does it have a strut or spring and shock. If it is a spring with seperate shock then most likely you have bent the control arm because that would be about the only thing I could think of other than a busted spring that would affect ride height

Possible causes off the top of my head...

1. broken spring
2. bent control arm
3. Strut tower pushed up (1G)
