Default Hard ride

Ive noticed the last few times Ive driven my car, the ride is very hard, alot harder than usual. Ive checked the tyre pressures, which are around where I normally have them (35psi).
Any ideas on what else to check? Could it be the suspension?

Jack up each corner & see if the strut drops & look for any scoring on the shaft.
