Replaced front suspension, now it sags
Just replaced the upper control arm, and both lower control arms and the lower ball joint. Everything but thettie rod. I pit everything back together and now that corner is running about an inch lower than the other side and there's an obvious lean. I have the ABC suspension.
I messed with the sensor and even tried shimming it to force it up with no change at all. The car was perfectly level before. The arms aren't bent either.
I know the car has gyros and can tell it's leaning, so why hasn't the car corrected itself? Is there a way to reset the suspension? I do plan to get lowering links eventually, but I'd like to have the car proper first. Any ideas?

I've since fixed the problem. Because I was working on the driver side, the locating tab for the height sensor is pretty hidden. I was completely unaware of this and reassembled with getting the height sensor properly lined up.
It was a quick fix to loosen one of the upper control arm bolts enough to wiggle the sensor into it's correct home.
