Just about every replica I've "measured" has been out of alignment in some respect. One side higher than the other, or the body off to one side in realation to the tires. Wheel well clearance different from one side to the other, etc.

In that respect it IS a "common problem". I hate it! And short of taking the body off and "shimming" here and there it is impossible to make it perfect.

There is a way to measure the frame for straight. Front to rear both sides and them diagonally like an X. The frame is the thing to measure, use a "plumb bob" on a VERY level surface and the front and rear should be the same height. Take your measurments from EXACTLY the same place, front or rear on both sides. The measuements should not be more than 1/8" "out". However, 1/4" or more is common!

I BET your frame IS straight. It's the BODY where it mounts on the frame that is "crooked".
