Different LCA's?

I put both the new left LCA and original on my bench in the installed position then inserted the old strut rod into each. With the pivot bolt at the same height on both, the new LCA distance from the middle of the end of the strut rod to the bench was 1.75" and on the old LCA, it measured 2.75. The new left QA1 LCA's do not have the correct angle on the strut rod loop.
