Yup but that does not mean it does not happen, I have seen a few of them that have had it done over the years and spent ages correcting them... but that is why i mentioned it so he can check that if the rods are unbent to see if the range is incorrectly set, that way he can determine if that is the reason behind the larger range on one side is due to different travel..
