Help! Car is dropped on passenger side

I have an 85 iroc. I was making a turn into a parking lot, the car dips down really bad. Drove it home and took a look at it. The car on the passenger side is about an inch lower. If you push down on the gender it does not move at all it's completely stiff. The other corners of the car can compress up and down normally. What would cause this? Broke strut, mount, spring? Haven't had it completely apart yet.

Most likely the spring broke and the car is sitting the bump stop. Could be other more serious issues, but sounds like a spring to me,

jack it up and remove the tire, the issue should be self explanatory then.
