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...

I didn't quite follow your post, but if you are saying the cams are out of alignment with each other, there are a couple things that can be checked. The limbs need to be seated correctly in limb pockets that are in proper position. The pockets could be out of position if the riser was bent. The limbs could be in poor position in limb pockets, or a limb(s) could be twisted. The other possible problem could be poorly driled axle holes in the limbs. On the latter, you can fill the holes with epoxy and redrill them perpendicular, if you have the skill and the tools (or a good machine shop could do it for you).
Sometimes you can twist one side of the cables to move the cams into the correct position, if there isn't far to go.
If you're shooting good and it's not eating strings, you probably won't want to go through the trouble.
