Subject:Sliding door problem

hi all,

This on a 1991 tintop Syncro. This is the part that rubs on the bottom of
the railing..

It's under the L shaped bracket, it rubs on the bottom side of the railing
where it rides on. It rubs at the end where the door is about to close. I
removed it and installed 2 new roller bearings (vertical and horizontal)
but the problem is still there.

Could this L shape bracket be bent?

or are there some adjustments to do?

Thank you for your help...
