nope, its lowered on springs but that not a recent thing, was the hub/bearing problem coilover related then?

Mine creaked like BBs but it ws because I had not fitted the bearing the correct way.

wasnt related on mine!...I changed wheel bearings not long before the creak and everything was tight still, but when I removed the hub you could see the bearing had burned the seal. it passed an mot with the issue as everything was fine (at a main dealer too! but there was no odd movemenet on the bearing anywhere!). if you have similar issues I would remove the hub and check the bearing
