Also check how strong/tight your primary mirror cell springs are.
If they are weak or not compressed enough, your whole mirror assembly may be shifting when moving the scope from horizontal to vertical and back again.

I have a 12 inch Meade dob and ended up cutting heavier springs for the mirror cell as even replacement Bob's Knobs springs just weren't heavy enough.
