Then take the bike for a spin, check the alignment again and the wheel will be several mm closer to the non driveside chainstay. it would seem a tighter QR would help the issue but thats been tried!
Unfortunately the several mm shift is enough to cause tyre rub and some shifting issues..
The skewer is NOT tight enough (or not clamping tight enough anyhow), the axle shouldn't move at all. Try a set of Shimano or Campagnolo skewers with an well-lubricated internal cam mechanism. They give a stronger bite with the same lever pressure. The skewer should be adjusted tight enough that it takes significant "oomph" to close and leaves a mark on the heel of your hand when closing it. If you can close it with your fingers or thumb it is not tight enough. Plastic and/or external cam skewers have too much friction and too little rigidity to get the job done.
