When I had a similar incident with them, many years ago, it took about 3
weeks for the modified parts to show up on my doorstep.  No word from them
before or after, but the parts fit and I was happy.

So, how far off is it?  10-15 degrees isn't going to hurt anything, IMO.
Mine was slightly off-level, with the car at normal ride height; and still
worked quite well.

After all, it doesn't stay level anyway.  The angles change every time you
hit a bump.
