I put the fenix on and a buddy noticed my car was pretty tweaked. Stripped car down to chassis and laying flat if I push in the front of the chassis, the rear comes up 2mm. If I push in the rear, the front comes up 4.6mm. I know the website says some longitudinal bend is expected but that seems like a lot. Waiting for fenix to respond to email but thought I would put this out to the group
We - and other manufacturer - state "Due the nature of the aluminum material and the machining process, it is normal that the chassis may be slightly bent in the longitudinal direction."
Slighlty means between 0 and 0.1x mm tolerance.
Unfortunately 4.6mm is a little bit more than "slightly".
Seems that the previous owner went a little too far about "gentle kiss to the wall"...
