Ringing on only one side of the print?

Whenever I print a flat surface on the y axis, one side has terrible ringing and resonances, while the other side is perfect. It seems to only happen on movements when the printhead is moving back, not forwards, so I think its an issue with direction. Could this be a motor/driver related issue? The issue doesn't show up on any of the other sides, so i doubt it The picture shows two different sides of the same print, both on the y axis. i recently changed my cable chain to a USB, but the issue didn't go away, so I'm guessing its not that. i've tried multiple slicers so its probably not a slicer issue. I've also slowed down speeds a ton, and nothing changed. Could it be because of the x axis rail? the mgn9 i got has a super light preload, so it moves super easily, and might be susceptible to interference.

I think its likely related to the preload of the linear rail i got a super light preload hiwin mgn9 ive ordered a heavier preload no name rail, ill swap and see if it works thats the only reason i can think of

i have the same problem on the X axis, looks like the belt is imprinted on the side of the printed part

I changed out the x rail, and I still see no improvement at all changed the stepper drivers, and printing again still no difference...

maybe, but i don't understand how that would only be a problem in one direction i checked all the bearings on the xy joiners might check the bearings in the motor mounts i do have a ton of extras
