Default Tamiya M1A2 Abrams Stance

Question for the experts:

I've noticed the RHS of the hull rides higher than the left. I pulled the tracks, flipped it over, and sure enough, the RHS road wheels are higher off the hull than the left. By about an 1/8 in.

Was the tank intentionally designed this way and I need to adjust the track tension to get a better stance, or did I goof something up during assembly.

Thanks.

Goofed something up. They should not be off by that much.

Yeah mine is level, you may have installed the springs incorrectly on one side.
