ᐅ Ikea Pax/Hasvik doors are difficult to slide and do not hang straight.

mar.xHello everyone,
we just assembled a Pax wardrobe (4 carcases, each 50 cm (20 inches) wide, 2.36 m (7 ft 9 in) high) and carefully leveled it on our very uneven old building floor. According to the spirit level, the wardrobe is tilted just a little backwards—about the same as our first Pax wardrobe, which has doors that slide perfectly.
Now there are two issues with the Hasvik doors:
1. The front door slides very smoothly, but the lower right corner is 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) closer to the bottom baseboard than the left corner. In the left-right direction (x-axis), the door hangs straight. This causes the door to run crookedly in the lower tracks, and the lower right corner presses against the door behind it.
--> So it seems the front door is warped. Does anyone have any advice?
2. The rear door slides very stiffly on the rollers—even when the other door is not installed. It feels like something is causing resistance. I have checked all possible causes but haven’t found a solution. I even went to the store and replaced the track, thinking it might be slightly bent. The rollers that the door runs on seem fine. One rolls slightly less smoothly than the other (if you flick it, it won’t continue spinning). But could this alone be causing the problem?
P.S.: The Hasvik doors are assembled from two parts screwed together. At first, I thought maybe they are slightly "bent" in the middle, but when you place a long straight edge against them while hanging, they appear completely flat.
Does anyone have experience with these problems?
