No, if you read my thread, the problem was in fact not the backsweep, the crossbar that phoenix themselves welded was welded 1 degree crooked. Im a total perfectionist is why I noticed and cried over it, but i swear to you ill even take pics from arial view, they are not bent, the crossbar was welded crooked but when you place them on, you make it so the bars itself are straight. Theres nothing wrong with them, i was just freaking out, I even went to a autoshop and they measured it with a level and made sure it was straight.
