Droplinks are correct at 340mm.
ARB should be level.
Shocks or droplinks might naffed or something.

yea, crawling underneath isn't even required, you just pop your head down in front of the parked car and you can see very clearly the ARB level. If it is not level, the ARB will be poking downwards but it is not....so far anyway from those I have seen.
The reason is because my car's ARB had always been poking downwards as far as I know (for some 6 years) and a few days ago, when I was driving, I noticed the car suddenly dropped downwards and now my car's ARB is level......As far as I can see here, no one can answer the question with conviction on what is normal?.....2 people have said it is angled (no images/proof provided) and some are saying it is level, even my own eyes based on Youtube and recent 3 cars.....and is it safe for me to use my car? or does anyone knows what the problem actually is?

So drop link is good.
So ARB should be level, which it is now, after the sudden drop.
So what do you think on the recent drop?.....sticky shocks?
So if the ARB is now at the right level which is level, would that not mean the shocks are still ok then?.....is there anything to test the shocks? There are no cracks on the drop link itself.
