That's what dropout adjusters are for, on the back. The front, of course, doesn't need them.
On the contrary, it's the fork dropouts that seem to be the problem. It's like the wheel has two ways it can sit, and I have to make sure it's sitting right before I close the lever. And yes, the wheels are symmetrical - I checked. I dunno - just something in how the axle interacts with the dropout.
