Found a problem now the fix

Need help, had car up on a lift and first time for me under it. Noticed a (sensor) out of place. I could not get a picture but the tires shop had a mechanic and he looked at it. His thoughts was a suspension sensor, ride adjustment. It was not minted just tucked in under the rear axle. The wire was rubbing the axle and has left a small groove.

The sensor is connected to car by a 8" bar going to a knuckle then a 1" bar to another knuckle then the sensor. We moved it around and the only place that the bolt hole would line up was above the the rear axle on the frame this is on the drivers side.

Does anyone have a diagram or picture of the suspension area for me to reference?

I have a 2000 with factory litronics. From the diagram and landrovered it looks like a sensor and I guess headlights. What a place for them. It has been in the wrong place since I owned it. How does this work in with the headlights.
