I would seriously consider ditching the endstop altogether and fitting a probe for a much better job which will allow auto levelling. I find the twin lead screws on the Z axis are a pain to keep in sync.

Lead screws should not run out of sync. Are you using two of the same stepper motors? Is your vref calibrated correctly on your stepper driver? Are the cables connected well? Is one of the leadscrews out of lubrication? Is your frame square or can it be that one of the leadscrews is binding because it's carrying most of the weight of the X-gantry?

I would change the Z-Axis end-stop So that I had an adjustable Screw to hit the switch.
Example photo attached, this way you could calibrate the Z-Axis when needed.
