Default I jacked my car up to look at one of the wheels, now the suspension is...

...3-4 inches too high.? I was checking out a wheel problem on my rear passenger side wheel, so after I dropped the car back down from it being jacked up, it's maybe 3-4 inches higher than it was. The drivers side, I have maybe three fingers clearance between the tire and wheel well. The other side, I have a whole fists' clearance. I tried to push it down, and I have a loud creaking noise.

The wheel bearing is bad on that side, so maybe it's related? I have no idea.
It's a 2002 Ford Focus SVT.

Pushing on it just makes it creak, suspension still works, it's just stuck 4 inches or so higher.
I doubt it's bad struts, I checked for the symptoms of this, and none were really there in this case. Never had issues with the suspension in the back until I dropped the car back down.
