No, next thing that'll happen is the spring will break completely, suspension will collapse & tyre will be punctured.

(Well, that's what happened to my Suzuki SX4...twice!)

Just driven home, wasn't far. My local garage is only five minutes away, so will get it checked over in morning

Good luck. If you are planning to keep the car for a while I'd get them to do both sides.
