The other day when I was looking at my bike, my left pod (driver's side, if you will) was sitting noticeably lower than the right. I went up to it, gave a couple thumps from underneath and it moved back into place.

Has this happened to anyone else's bike? I don't know if it's from too many bumps and potholes, but it's odd that the bracket was that loose. I haven't tracked down the attaching mechanism yet to re-tighten it, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

I'm pretty sure the left pod sticks out a tad more on the bikes but not lower, can you move it around with ease or does it rattle?

The wiring harness on the left side makes it stick out more.

+1, r2s and 07xb. But he says it's DROOPING (down, I assume, rather than the usual out sideways). Also, the fact he was able to press it back into place with his thumb leads me to believe he's got something either broken or unfastened.

I'll try to get some pics today. However, it's no longer down as far as it was. Maybe I can gently push down on it to see if it'll move, and then you will see.

It doesn't rattle. As far as with ease, not quite. I had to apply 20+ lbs of force to move it back up into place.
