I think you mean struts seeping. No fluid in the springs. Or springs sagging....

I've seen a couple of hot 40-45 year olds. They don't all sag.

Back on topic, another thought....maybe your tires are low on air? That'll reduce your ground clearance a bit (not by much, but if it was really close to scraping before...you get the idea).
