how do u know ur shocks are blown?

ok so i've been running on my coilovers for little over a year now. my question is, my passenger rear side has been rubbing a lot more than my driver rear. both at same height and stiffness. does this mean my shock is blown so its not as "stiff"? or should i worry aobut other things. camber is even on both side as well.

i'm thinking my shocks are blown..

the tab on the camber bolt points toward the wheel, not the strut/coilO

yea my front two are gone, if you notice body roll from the front? I notice when i take turns at certain speeds my car isn't as leveled as it was before. The noise is alot louder as well, i can hear metal squeaking when the road surface isn't even.

Correction to Richard there weren't savage.. remember it was just cruising...CRUISING
