Guide Rails taking shape & storage

[CADru]

Are my Guide Rails taking shape (warping) across the rail (perpendicular to splinter guard)? I don't remember this "rocking" action when new. I placed a true straight edge on the rail and do notice a slight camber. Is this normal? Should Guide Rails hang from the hole at the end of the rail? I don't have the ceiling height/wall to store this way so I currently store them flat on a simple shelf system. So does storage play a role in maintaining the rails?

I store mine flat and have not had any issues.

Storage does play a role. I had a FS1400 get bent from improper storage. It wouldn't sit flat so i carefully bent it back into shape. Now i store them flat and fully supported.

I hang them on the wall and they are just fine

I finally got around to hanging mine on my garage overhead door.
