A couple of thoughts on the issue which are in my docs -
Are you using ST4 guiding ( guide camera to mount ) ? If so , ditch it and use Ascom pulse guiding ( guide camera direct to laptop) enables you to guide on both sides of the meridian without issue, allows you to save a good Calibration for reuse over months and months , easier to analyse and diagnose PHD2 logs
Check Backlash and Stiction in both Dec and Ra , worms may need adjusting ?
Ensure you achieve good calibration at Dec 0 ( Calibrate near celestial equator and close to north meridian)
Check balance in both Ra and Dec
How’s your Polar Alignment ? Under an arc minute ?
Run the Guide Assistant in PHD2 , it may pick up the problem
Cheers
