Here is a matrix of common sidecar problems. Some of the problems you may be having can be a result of multiple solutions. Be aware that you may make the mistake of over compensating for one problem and "cause" another. When ever you are troubleshooting, always make small changes and then test them out, don't be in a rush and take your time.
