cab flexing question

Here's a question for you guys.

My garage floor isnt completely flat. It has a down slope like most.

Depending on which way the cab is turned, the doors seem to lose their alignment and hit or rub in the striker pin (altmans)

Anyone else run into this?

(Cab is on wood crate with wheels)

These cabs are extremely rigid...sounds like you may have an issue with your hinge pins.

I was thinking hinges but wasn't sure. I tried lifting the door up and down while it was open and didn't notice any play. By feel anyway
