Problem with the air spring or the electronic circuitry to the air spring. I would posit that both inflated but now the left rear will not deflate. So...either a bad valve in the left rear air spring, bad connection at the left rear air spring, or a short somewhere in the circuit between the valve and the airmatic computer. Put it on STAR and you should have the answer within minutes. Plus, with STAR, you can control the individual air springs.

The left is literally laying on my exhaust.could it be anything other than the air strut???Also fyi the car still drives except it pulls to the left because of the wheels being cambered(right rear is rubbing the inside arch if i go over a bump or so)

That looks like the rear suspension sub frame has come loose from the unibody of the car.
Bolts are possibly broken or pulled out of the unibody fornit to be hanging that low on one side.
Please post what they find.

The price would be reasonable for me if I didn't want to perform the work myself. See Joe's writeup on the pro-active replacement of the bolts before they break. A bit late for your car but this will give you an idea of what the mechanic is going to be looking at:
