When doing dips, my body feel somewhat distorted. It feels like one are is slightly ahead of the other. No mater how I adjust my body still feels somewhat uneven. Is this an issue for anybody else?

Never had that problem,but have developed shoulder problems from going too heavy.
Any other exercises where this happens Grant?

My training partner has a slight curvture of the spine which makes certain exercises use one/side arm more than the other.
One arm could be a bit shorter......not really that uncommon.

I do dips once a week and I have not had this isuue either. It could be, like Tim said, one arm is shorter than the other.

Thank you. Just for the heck of it, I may just measure the length of my arms.

I've not had this issue either but it also could be muscle tightness on one side or one shoulder rolling forward more than the other.

Also make sure the bars in your gym are actually "parallel"!
Might not be you.

My right arm is longer than the left because, additionally my right shoulder "drops" lower than the left.
We're never truly symmetrical- just near-symmetrical.
