[s-cars] Lucky '95 S-6 Owner

Hello,
 
I'm looking for some guidance after an interesting experience with my '95 S-6.  I was about 200 yards from home, travelling about 2 MPH as I gently rode over the last neighborhood speed bump.  I hear a crunch and loud grinding noise from the vicinity of my right front wheel.  I got out and found that the right front strut had come off of the torsion bar!
 
Obviously, I was very lucky this did not happen at any speed.  I was able to find the nut, washer and bushing that secures the strut, via the lower control arm to the torsion bar.  After getting it all back together, I discovered there is no longer a connection between the engine and the wheels.  Absolutely nothing happens when I let out the clutch with the car in gear!
 
OK, so what happened?  I assume something has disengaged in my front final drive mechanism.  I have the Bently manual on CD but I have not yet found an obvious explanation of what is wrong.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks!
Bill
