If the Y bars are not parallel you wont be able to
level it, so that is probably your problem. This
is one of the many issues I addressed with
Mendel90.

Even if the bars are not perfectly level it's fine since you can compensate for that error by lifting and leveling your actual print surface independent from what your actual bearings are attached to.

Also the sag in the bars due to the weight of the bed and the extruder make the bed appear to have a saddle shape.

If the whole bed is able to move smoothly back and forth then the bars must be parallel.

I would measure the height to the base with digital callipers by standing one jaw on the ground and using the other jaw for measuring inside to measure the height under the bar.

Is the surface you stand it on definitely flat?
