In my continuing quest to get a working rover I noticed that the "front" two wheels of my chassis were much harder to turn than the back. 

Attached you'll find an (blurry) image comparing the front shaft alignment to the back. I think the angle is pretty obvious.

So the question is, is this a common issue with a simple solution? Should I just grab a pair of pliers and try to straighten it? Or is this cause for getting a replacement?

Thanks in advance!
