My Alon has the same problem, and it already has trim tabs
on each side.  I remember a mechanic said I should bend
the tab only on one side but I don't remember the rule
as to which side and direction (up/down) to use, anybody
know what I'm referring to and remember the rule?  And,
I understand one should bend the tab with a couple of
pieces of 2x4 so the entire tab gets bent evenly.
