Default Cam Lean

I just got a new string and cables put on my razortec. It is shooting great but the top cam is leaning severely. It's pointing halfway between eleven and twelve oclock. I took it back to the shop and they twisted the yoke two times but it was still leaning. What could be the problem?

Maybe the other side of the yoke is too long!!!!

If I'm seeing this right the cables are to tight, unless there is a defect. Relax the cables and tighten the string.

It doesn't do any good to twist up the yoke on a Hoyt if it has the floating yoke. It will just re-center itself anyway. All that gets done is slightly shortening the yoke which affects the cable length.

As to what causes cam lean? It's actually limb twist caused by the cable guard rod. Everything is being pulled to that side. Something has to give.
