Is it bound there or can you push it down?

It's dropped in that place ..

When I lift up it drops down again

No the high one. Firstly there is no load on the suspension arms and secondly, no shocks. But do they both have the same area of travel?

The high one is bound.. I have removed suspension arms

Seems like something is sticking or bound..when your shocks are removed both arms should drop evenly down
Take your pins out .clean them well . reinstall and check again
On your lower control arms where the pin slides through make sure that area is also free of grease / dirt / gunk .after it's all clean and sliding pin ,lightly lube the pin . slide it back in forth into the arms until you feel no resistance..

Thanks so much

Either there's something binding in your driveshaft or the inner lower hinge. Take apart the driveshaft by undoing the top suspension link on the binding side and verify everything is clean and not damaged. Then check by taking apart the lower hinge pin assembly.

Here Is another video ..

The hex ends don't seem even straight on both ends ?

I'd take it all apart .do a full inspection of all links ..tei rods .stearing links.something is either broken or bound ..both arms are supposed to drop evenly all the way down like your right side .which is your passengers side

Here is a video if it helps ..

Can you do a video of the left arm that's not dropping all the way down.you showed us the right side going up and down which is the good side ..I want to see what the tei rod and cv axel is doing .do it slow a few times then fast like lift the arm all the way up then let it drop.thanks

I don't see a second vid

I bet you have a broken C-hub or something there. Disassemble for a closer inspection. This is a common oversight.
The immediate first guess being poor wheel alignment.

Something similar happened to my Big rock but it was my left shock shaft .from manufacturer they somehow stuck in a shorter shaft which made my arm not drop all the way ..I know this is not your case but just to show that there is multiple reasons when this situation happens..in your case something is broken or bound.

Brilliant I will dismantle and look into..

Do you guys have any tricks for removing the grub screw in the hex nut ?

Looks like I w burred the little grub screw over ):
