This may be caused by hard particles in your bearings... and/or retaining ring tightened too much, which may cause stepper motor to skip (as Brendan commented already, EQ6 doesn't have encoders.. and if the stepper skips a step, processor has no way of knowing where the mount points to)
Definitely, you need to dismantle DEC axis and give it a good cleaning/adjustment.
