I wonder what would cause it to spin? Hydraulics are pretty powerful I guess.

Fred Flintstone has some big balls! Maybe gravitational pull caused it to twist. Wash the windshield and see if that helps?

have you tried twisting it back straight? theres a groove in the back that won't let it rotate real far.

There is a tang on the mounting plate that fits into a slot on the HB. That is supposed to keep the HB in position.
