I have 2015 bobcat s450 with a tweaked Bob tach. The left side is at a lower angle than the right, and know one seems to know what happen to it which is shocking (eye roll) any thoughts on how to fix it.
 
I would suggest that before even starting a repair you need to isolate where the damage has occurred. Even then, it is a complicated repair, by the time you take into account the alignment of all of the pivots.
Most repairs that I have seen done have involved replacement of the entire Bobtach. It is the only way that you can be sure that you have addressed the full problem and not induce any other future failures.

It sounds like you are describing the lift arms being bent. One side is higher than the other? With a little carefull measuring and a anchor imbeded in a concrete floor, ANYTHING can be straightened. High side anchored to the floor and a floor jack under the low side. I have done it a time or two. Just check everything for cracks first, and when you have it straight.

Sorry for not replying in a more timely fasion have been swamped. The lift arm seem to be level it's where the bucket attaches is tweaked. The left side is farther forward than the right side. I'm going to give the ol college try to get it straight, and if I cant I'm sure the dealer will be happy to sell me a new one.
