Help needed with G11 mount.

Hi all,

Could someone please tell me why my Losmandy G11 is making grinding sounds while I'm slewing?
I've only had this mount for a couple of months and ever since I got it, it has made these grinding sounds. I thought nothing of it, but the fact that I have not been able to get consistent guiding in declination makes me suspicious that something is wrong.
I've tried everything to sort out the DEC jumps in PHD, but nothing seems to work, which leaves me thinking something is wrong with the Motors.
Below is a link to a quick youtube video I made which shows the problem.
I've also attached a PHD graph showing the jumps in DEC I'm getting.

I'm using a Orion 50mm mini guider with QHY5 camera.
