The Little Arrow That Could
Recently after the plane came out of annual I noticed that with the yoke centered both ailerons have a slight downward deflection and are not totally flush with the wing. Example below with the ailerons at their most centered/balanced point.

The only thing that's changed recently is during annual I had an item noted as:
"During inspection aileron cable tension was noted as out of spec. Cable tension was adjusted and safetied as per Piper MM." That's the only relevant item I could find.
I don't know if that alteration is what changed it but I do know it was more flush with the wing prior to annual.
Thoughts on how much of a concern this is?
