Your screed lift cylinders may need to be rebuilt (new packings/seals) to stop the uneven lift. When you set your screed down on the mat or boards that you start from, the screed is in "float", the lift cylinders are not putting any hydraulic pressure down or up. Check for wear in your bushings in the screed extensions if so equipped. Check your screed arm tow points for any movement. These are all wear points (replaceable) and quickly change the finish in your mat. Pull a string line under your screed from side to side or use a straight edge to check screed alignment. Adjust to correct. When paving, try to keep the asphalt head at a constant feed and amount in front of the screed. The screed will dive when it is too little, and fights to rise when overfed or running over a spilled pile from the hopper or a truck.
