yeah, it had slack in it, i used a measuring tape to make sure it was in spec lifting it in the middle like the manual says, im not sure if it hit anything, it may have bounced off the curb while it pinwheeled across the ground as i slid behind it....all I was thinking is "man that HID is bright" as it spun and I caught a glimpse before my helmet started to join in on the slide/tumble action and ruined the view
