Cheers for the pictures, when i asked my "good old dad" (who's a qualified enginneer, incase anybody from the shop reads this) to take my mount apart thinking along the same lines i also noticed that the small white pads had been worn unevenly. We re-grease around the motor gears similar to your pictures, unfortunatly for me this did not solve the problem, however it did run more smoothly for a few hours. I would still let your supplier /manufacture know so you have the option of sending it back if need be. Also if you dis-connect the motor from the black mount holdings and run it attached to the PCB but with no strain on it and it still has erratic movement you will know it is the motor (or mototr brushes ) which have worn and need replaceing not the amount of grease you apply.

I have just had my skywatcher motor mount completly replaced due to this very problem send it back if its under warrenty.
