Kind of hard to argue with that. Thats pretty bad. Looks like they got a little too much flex in the frame. Could also be the bed mounting design. Hmm.

This has been indicated by the fan hitting the shroud...this particular example is from a truck that has been used extensively, however there are other cases of it...
