Freeplay in front shock

I have koni shocks, of the knob less adjustable kind. Recently i noticed that the front right wheel has about 2-3in of vertical freeplay before resistance is felt.
Is the shock shot or could the adjustment be "loose" ?

The spring comes from the torsion bar, not the damper. If you are saying you jack the car off the ground and there is free play, that is normal, as the torsion bar anchor points on the crossmember are not fixed, they just use bolts resting on the crossmember to set the ride height (you can see what I mean if you look down there).
