Will clubman dry front upper control arms on a hydro system affect the front ride height/ clearance of the vehicle?

Hi Chris, on one car I found it had a dry upper control arm fitted to the left front, the right side had the correct hydro arm, couldn't get it level or to sit right, particularly left rear, was up in the air. Fixed it by replacing the dry arm for a proper hydro one.

Thanks Steve. Hopefully this will sort my front suspension headache. I knew the car had shocks on the front but presumed the upper control arms were hydro drilled out with the shock bolt attached. On closer inspection I noticed they were clubman.
