Blown shock?
Well, the front driver side is sitting lower than the passenger side, you could also tell by the wheel gap too. I'm on stock suspension too. Could a blown shock cause my car from drifting to the left? I got someone to check my alignment before and they said it was fine. So no clue...

How big of a fella are you? Not trying to be rude but I've seen people who are pretty big cause this in several cars...namely Sentra's but its still a possibility. The Shock plays very little in the ride height of the vehicle. 95% of the height is the springs, you may also have a look at the suspension members to see if anything is bent.

I'm not big, which is why it seems weird for the driver side to be sitting low. I did try pushing down on the front of the car and the passenger side bounce back and the driver side doesn't.

Blown shock can make the car pull to the side, however, it will not make any difference in how low your car sits when the car is parked. (shocks resist only suspension movements)
What exactly did you mean when you said that the diver side did not bounce back? You pushed on it, it compressed and did not come back to its original position??
Do you hear any noises coming from your suspension?
Also, if it’s not a problem, could you post your alignment sheet? It might help us identify what could be wrong.
