You'll need to jack up the rear end high enough to get underneath, or better still put the rear wheels up on ramps. Find the anti-roll bar going from one side of the car to the other. Close to the centre of it you'll find a clamp attached to the anti-roll bar. Moving back from the clamp there's a short rod attached to a ball joint and then going to a drum-like device with pipework. That's the height corrector and what you're looking for is to see if the short rod has become detached.

Did they put on a new link - or refix the old one. A new one will stay, but if they've used the old, it will probably jump off again.
