Default Wheels/ Cams dont seem vertical when not drawn

I shoot a Golden Eagle Predator, which was roughly 200 bucks when I got it 3 years ago, its 70# draw, I belive 31" draw and its plenty long to shoot fingers on, I believe about 40 inches.

I shoot it incredibly well, and am very confident in it, except for the fact that it appears the top and bottom wheel/cam whatever you want to call it do not line up perfectly horizontally... It doesnt look "right" although it has looked like that for as long as I can remember... It still shoots smooth, and when I draw it, the wheels seem to line up and are fine... Its just one of those things I guess... I'm not concerned since it has been so long, just looking for some input I guess to calm me down about it...

Can you post a picture of your bow? You might need to put a few twists in your cables.

Are you talking about the cam and wheel leaning to one side or the other or are you talking about the cam and wheel not being in a perfectly straight line with each other.

The leaning can be caused by a couple of thing. The cable end that splits, one side of the yolk needs to be just a tad shorter than the other side to put even pressure on the limb tips. This is because the cable has to go to the cable guard and pulls to the right. Another thing could be a bent axle or worn bushings.

If it's the latter that's just the way it is. Look at the cam and you will notice that the strings groove is far to the left of center on the cam and I bet your idler wheel is center in the upper limb..
