Knocking Passenger Side

It won't have any retaining force, it's held in by the hub.

Ah ok. Now I have everything back on, is it possible for the driveshaft to not be in right? Because it seems to sit a little too low.
Should I try and drive it or is that a really bad idea?

The driveshaft will not control the height of the suspension, that's all to do with the antirollbar and springs.

Sorry I meant the driveshaft seems to be going in a little low.

Everything looks fine now but I don't know if I should start it up and just turn it around on my drive to see if anything is damaged? Will I do more harm?

Also, here is the damage to my alloy. Not as bad as I first thought but still pretty gutted.

Just had a quick drive. Everything seems fine but I don't know if its still leaking and I am not going to drive it any more as it has lost alot of oil. What exactly was leaking? And what should I fill to see if it is still leaking?

Gear oil I'd have thought..
