Did you by any chance leave the LCA bolts loose until the suspension was loaded, and then tighten them up? That's how you're supposed to do it.

If you can't get under the car with the car's weight on the suspension, then place a jack under the LCA and raise it up until the corner of the car just barely lifts off the jack stand. Then tighten the bolts to spec, any bolt that passes through a bushing in the LCA.

OR it could be sitting differently, but you just can't notice it.
