"Droop" does not refer to anything that is happening on a car while it is
sitting on its tires.  When you have the car up in the air with jackstands
under the frame, the suspension is "in droop".

Folks familiar with this concept could ge confused by your use of the term.  I
suggest that when you are talking about the fact that one corner is lower than
it ought when the car is in its tires that you use "sag" rather than "droop".
