Just out of curiosity, what did it cost and how much does it weigh?

With all the goodies inside it weighs about 12 kg. Cost me $900.

Put the car in offroad height and see if the low corner raises easily.

The wheel alignment would have been done and adjusted on the 4 post with the car sitting level so the bushes should be happy.

Cheers for the reply. Standard rods.
I thought that if the top arms were left to hang without the LCA on, the sensors would be damaged.
PCB LR did end up having a chat to me & mentioned it could be bent fittings.
D4 up on stands, wheels off & found RHS bracket that's welded to the chassis that holds sensor was pushed substantially down & back.
Removed sensor & hammered back to where it looked normal again.
Vehicle sat ok (to 9mm height diff between sides) and went back to mechanic.
When i explained there was a witness damage mark on the bracket, but not on the top arm, he admitted using a bar on it to jimmy the strut to line with the LCA.
Such fun.

Least you got it sorted quickly and without cost.. He won't do that again hopefully.
