mechanism that makes my tonearm move a few milimeters to the right when it's lowered using the hidraulic lifter? It does get worse the closer it is to the spindle.
Can anything be done about this?
It's a Morch DP6, btw
Follow Ups:
sometimes if the arm rest is rubber you can clean it with alcohol and it will allow arm to leave influence of arm behind cleanly as it drops away, no pun intended.
...I think. Used to happen on mine (Thorens TP16) and I think I scaled back the AS and adjusted the bearings.

The Morch doesn't really allow zeroing AS very easily, but it does improve if it's lowered
I have that problem on my Logic arm, but do not have it on my SME 111s. The Logic arm has a slippery felt material on the arm lowering rest onto a slippery armtube. The SME has a nice grippy piece of rubber on the lowering rest. Try sticking something on the bottom of the armtube where it touches the lowering rest, such as a small elastic band around the armtube, or a small piece of elastoplast, or something onto the lowering rest, to stop it sliding.
I've noticed the same thing on my Dual CS 5000. I've tried to watch the action and see what's going on. I suspect anti-skate as well. But, also on mine on the top of the lift plunger there is a small rubber cap. I've noticed the cap is a bit worn to one side and I think this might has some effect. I've tried fiddling with it to get it square. Sometimes seems to help sometimes not.It hasn't really been an issue that bothers me that much. But hopefully someone will weigh in with a solution.
