Try unbolting the column from the base, make sure there's no swarf or paint blobs trapped between the base and the bottom casting on the column. You might try re-indexing the column if that doesn't square it up.

Note the quill might not be square to the column, either... you can check that pretty easy, though.

note: don't forget to check forward/back as well as left/right
