Check the current setting for the axis motor where the print goes out of alignment.
If you do adjust higher make sure to it in small increments and to check if the motor does not get too hot during prints.
You might need a bit more juice, otherwise it could be the acceleration settings being too high.

Lower the acceleration on the axis on which you're having the problem. In Marlin, this is the DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION setting. Bring it down to 500. If that fixes the problem, raise it incrementally until you find a good balance between quality and speed.
