I'd start with the simple things; are the starter mounting bolts tight and is the bracket that goes between the brush end of the starter and the oil pan mounting flange there? Any problems here and you will have alinement problems. If this ain't it, the starter will probably have to come out for a full inspection; bushings, bendix, flywheel gear teeth, etc.
