If it has torsion bars then check where the t/bar connects to the crossmember. I have seen people have trouble with them comming loose. The mount is just about under your feet.

+1 on the torsion bar mounts. other common thing is the upper control arm bushings. usually the rear facing one goes. have a friend drive slowly and hit the brakes while u look safely with a light for the wheel and upper control arm to shift back when u stab the brakes.

There probably broke and you'll have to get a new ones , I have always replaced mine in pairs , although I'm sure thats not required.
