The TS is a Bosch TS 3000. No fence involved, only a homemade crosscut sled, which is lined up as well as I know how.
Tablesaw alignment puzzle
I have a problem with alignment on my tablesaw crosscut sled. When I cut on the right hand side of the blade, I get a satisfactorily square cut. When I line up to make the cut on the left side of the blade it is not square. I've checked everything I can think of for square. The fence is straight. The blade is parallel to the miter guage slots. The fence is 90degrees to the blade.
Any suggestions?

There are two runners. I used Micro Jig zeroplay guide bar system for the runners.
Thank you Nick and Charles for your suggestions. Charles I favor your suggestion of slight deflection in blade and arbor. I do see a slightly wider groove at the head of the groove on the side that isn't square.
Nick, I have been careful to keep the pressure straight forward. Also, I get the same behavior with all three of my blade types. I wiil look for a lifting on one side. On my recent project I was crosscutting a half inch thick piece of maple which is 4 inches wide. The maximum deviation from square is about 1/32 over the 4 inches.
