Maybe my choice of words wasn't the best. It's not problem while printing. But when I remove print surface (flexible) or poke around printer, then I sometimes accidentally move one lead screw. When that happens I need to manually level it again. I would like to have a way to do it automatically before every print.Quote

I feel like this is working around the problem. Sorry for not providing an answer, but wouldn't it be a better idea to fix the steppers going out of sync?
What could be the cause of that? Binding? An axis leadscrew slipping in relation to the stepper shaft?

Just a thought, but do you think it would be an idea to add a belt around both axes or a sting that is looped around then a couple of times so that the axes also keep each other physically in sync?

It is the way to go. One motor plus closed loop belt. Synchronous belts have been "invented" decades ago to address this.

Currently I'm using similar approach, but I would like to have it automated in the future.Quote

I use a low-tech solution for this problem - I have a couple of 3D printed jigs that fit around the Z axis rods. I put those in place, turn the lead screws by hand until the axis hits the jig on each side, pull the jigs out, and presto - the axis is level and ready to go.
