Car leaning

The passenger side of my car is almost exactly 1" lower than the drivers side. I did hit a curb at 40mph two weeks ago so I'm thinking the damage occured then. I had to replace both wheels and tires on the passenger's side, moved the new stuff to the front wheels, and I had the front end aligned, which the guy said was WAY off.

Could I have blown the shocks on the passenger side causing the droop? From what I've looked at I can't see any unusual bending of any of the suspension components but I can't see much as I only have the spare tire jack and a couple of ramps.

Do you remember it sitting funny before you hit the curb. From what Ive read these cars do this very frequently, that is the reason for the rear passenger air bag in the spring. For some reason I believe it has something to do with how the rear suspension is set up the car will sit lower in the rear passenger side.

This is the first time I've noticed it and I have owned the car for 5 years.
