If the balance "hangs" in the direction of tracking, you will have the effect you described.
Thanks Bojan - I bought the mount secondhand and I carried out a major grease up and replaced 2 bearings. I am going to replace the other 2 later I only noticed the grittiness of 2 bearings on the declination axis after already completing the other axis. Quite easy to repair these mounts too, I also believe that my power connections are a bit sus so will be replacing the whole power cable and adapters at the same time. Hopefully enough time today.
