The Sun drifts in declination so even if you are tracking at a solar rate it won't stay centered. Having said that, the drift is small. Any error in polar alignment will cause a bigger drift.

Oh crap, I forgot to do a proper polar alignment!
I slid the weight as far up as possible but it was still not enough and everything was clamped down.
