I think this is normal behavior for a Speed Queen. My AWN542 would go pretty far off center (to the front and right) during a cycle. I'd open the lid and it would be completely kattywampus.
My two day-old Series 9 top loader goes a bit off center, but nothing like the 542. About the same as yours, in fact. If the machine is leveled properly and isn't having problems with unbalanced spins, I'd say don't worry about it. | ||

I had spoke to speed queen about this before, it has more to do with the torque of the motor. I don't remember exactly the reason behind it but it made perfect sense when it was explained to me. Again, it's perfectly normal operation. | ||

Its normal
And your case is mild. My Speed Queen when new used to lean to the front when off, and when agitating the tub would lean, and I mean LEAN to the extreme right front. Had it not been for this site, I would have absolutely assumed the machine was defective. Its gotten a bit better now that the machine has run for a few years, but leaning is still there. Just a quirk of these machines.
