having a mechanic look at my lower front suspension arms, ( they have been advisories for last 2 MOT's )

I have a 2007 HSE with AFS headlights , if I heard him right, he says the suspension arms have a sensor attached to enable the headlights to do their thing, is this correct?

I have never seen this part online with a sensor, anyone out there got any knowledge of this ? 2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -
2007 HSE with HST bodykit in Zermatt Silver 169,700 miles (dec 2016 - May 2022 )
2007 Honda Civic Type S GT (2012-2017)
2002 Mini Cooper S (2008-2012)
1992 Honda Legend 3.2i (2003-2008)
1990 Honda Concerto (1999-2003)
1985 Honda Accord (1997-1999)
1983 Honda Accord (1993-1997)
1983 Mini Mayfair (1988-1993)
1974 Mini 1000 (1979-1986)

I've not looked at the Freel2 system, but it's normal for there to be at least one front and one rear ride height sensor (the sensor is normally attached to the body, with a linkage to the suspension), so the BCM can alter the headlamp aim based on vehicle load. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.
Hyundai Ionic 5 Ultimate on order.
Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE.

thanks for that, I would love to see a photo of the suspension part with the sensor attached to see what it looks like !

I believe this is the sensor LR001706

i cant say for Freelanders , but the merc i had previously had xenons and had sensors both front and rear so that the headlights were automatically adjusted
