Just noticed today while doing some maintenance on the Kraton that the two shock towers don’t line up (aren’t level with each other)

Tried to take some pics of it. The rear shock towers are level when I laid it flat and put a level on it but the front ones are not. The right side of the front shock tower is definitely lower.

Cannot see any obvious reason and can’t find anything broke or loose. Should I keep going with something mechanical or is it more a structural issue? Ran it yesterday pretty hard but it ran great through two 6s batteries

Your chassis might be bent a bit. You can definitely see when looking through to the front. If its bolting ok to the gear box, my guess is the problem is lower down
 
Upon further review it was the tail of the chassis that was slightly bent. Rather than risking doing something worse trying to straighten it out, I just ran it this past weekend as is and had zero issues. Still runs dead straight. If it gets any worse I may tackle straightening it
