First maybe post some pics and give some measurements of the fender lip to the ground so we can determine if it is indeed cranked. If its not you might have other problems that "un-cranking" might not solve.

I measure fender to the top of the rim on level ground. Much more consistent. Mine after crank and with a 15" rim:

12" in front, 13" in rear.
