What van is it? Is it the front or the rear?

I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

if its the front corner dropped most likely be just a broken coil spring ,[ but if its a back corner dropped most likely be a broken torsion bar ,luckily thats very rare .]
front springs break all the time ,they break easy due to poor quality and luckily arent very pricey to buy new . just look under the front wing and see if its broke daz . any spannerman worth his salt can change a spring in under an hour

thats RARE and very bad luck fella, if both ends of yer van broke at the same time .
i used to be a spannerman myself and only once in 20years did i see a "double break happen " . this bearded guy blew his engine AND his gearbox at the very same time ,driving a fully loaded MARINA VAN along the M25 . from that day on his nickname became "jinxy" and less than a year later he blew up an engine in a nice tranny van,so JINXY really was jinxed
