If it works just fine, better don't have it serviced as the front element group was held in place by very heavy damping grease. Only Japan can determine the proper adjustment. If it was done by unqualified centre, they will just screw it back all the way and ruin the alignment. The built-in filter mechanism is also prone to misalignment.
