Shifted X layers

I'm getting a lot of X layer shits (picture below). Printer is MK3S, assembled from kit. Calibration and belt tension as checked on the LCD screen are all good, yet prints both with prusament and PLA or PETG filament, even on 0.2 Quality are shifted. See attachment (3rd one is when object is placed on a different face). Printer so far detected only one bump on X axis and there were several. I'm not printing in stealth mode. Where do I go from here?

Best Answer by Neophyl:

Check if the grub screws on your x axis pully are loose. That’s the most common cause of shifts like that.  If they aren’t tight then you can get wobble as the axis moves back and forth.  They must be done in order, first one on the flat of the servo motor shaft and then the second tight ended to lock the first in place.
