Issue with maybe X-axis?

Having trouble with the printer finding home.  It seems to not want to pull the extruder setup to the left, but think it has.  Printing platform moves proper, up and down moves proper, to the right SEEMS to move proper, but to the left seems to get stuck.  It will think it's home, and start it's leveling process, but will slam into the right side of the frame and throw errors about leveling the Z axis.  I've checked the belt, it doesn't seem to get hung up on anything.  I've checked the sensor that detects when it hits the left and it appears to be working fine.  I'm at a loss, it seems to just get stuck.  Ideas?

Could be over tightened bearings on the x-axis.  Can you move the extruder from left to right (and back) by hand?

 

What printer is this? The MK3's don't use a sensor for homing.

Apologies, been working on two different printers and I am running on lack of sleep.  Sensor wasn't the Prusa, this IS the mk3s.  I can move the extruder left and right, however sometimes it seems highly resistant sometimes just fine.

If it binds, it will call that "zero".  Make it not bind.

Sensorless homing is a great thing, till it goes wrong.

 

Tank you very much!
