As long as you get the 'coin drop' tweek test right (see Mark's website) the car will handle fine. With all the manufacturing tolerances in all those moulded and machined parts, that sort of error is inevitable.

If everything plays in your favour, it'll all come out perfect, but if it doesn't (as you and hundreds of drivers discover) it doesn't matter enough to chase down the cause - better to be roughly right than precisely wrong!! HTH
