Serious Y-shift

About 1 month ago I started getting a noticeable y-shift during my prints. The shift is not consistent and has been wreaking havoc with my prints. The shift occurs with both Cura (started after the last update) and with Slicer. I have tried tightening the Y-axis belt, buying a new Heatbed Sheet, and even a MK3S upgrade kit (only to find out I need to print the parts - not going to happen until I fix the shift) and rotating the models. Nothing has worked so far. 

If you look closely, the shift even starts occurring when printing the brim.

Any suggestions?

You tightened the belt but did you check that the set screws for the pully are still tightened correctly ?  The screw against the flat has to be done first and aligned properly and then the second one to lock it in place.  The size of those shifts look about right for a loose pully.
