Polar Alignment Issue

I was tweaking the polar alignment on my Paramount ME (with a 14" Meade OTA) when I noticed, looking north, with the scope on the west side of the mount, the stars were slowly drifting east, no north / south drift. When looking east, there was no drift in any direction.

After several intergrations of looking north and east, there was still some east drift when looking north.

The scope seemed to be balanced and there are no cable snags.

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
