Im not sure what a portaball is, but have you thought about the mirror cell? most commercial mirrors are held in place with a floating mirror cell. if the mirror is loose and not restrained properly then the mirror could well be slopping in the cell giving you this exact problem.

First though i would check your focuser for focuser slop. give it a bit of a shimmy around and see if it moves excessively.
