My left rear suspension has starting squeeking as it starts compressing. It just sounds like something has dried out & needs some lube, but a quick trip to Kwik Fit for a thorough grease hasn't resolved it fully.

The air suspension system is working completely normally, so I have ruled that out.

Has anyone else had this issue & if so, how was it resolved?

It'll be the top or bottom swivel (bush) on the hub. Not expensive to buy (about 30 quid) but around an hour's labour to fit if the garage can do it in situ - there's a specific tool, about 2 hours if they need to take the hub to their press.
Very common foible on L322s.
