It really sounds like the "knife edges" have dulled or the corresponding fulcrum point on the posts have worn. This can cause the exact problem that you have described. These edges have to be sharp to minimize friction and allow the trem to return to the same zero position each and every time. It sounds like yours is binding. Take a close look at the edges on the trem. They should look similar to a knife edge and not rounded or flattened. The corresponding post surfaces should not be worn or rutted. The posts are easily replaced. The knife edges may or may not be replacable depending on design. A quick and dirty fix on the blades could be achieved with a Dremel tool with a fine grinding stone bit. Good luck!
