I think the fact that you R&R'd parts caused this issue.Â* It is not

Just another thought on this. He had his TS blade aligned to the fence
with a worn out bearing. A new bearing will place the blade in a new
position.
Now Derby did have a reasonable explanation but gosh, why realign the
front end on a car after replacing ball joints or tie rod ends?
I think you're on my side, but even I have to question your "new bearing
will move the blade" theory. Why?
In my case, the front bearing (good) was sandwiched between the flange
and a c-clip. The rear bearing (bad) was sandwiched between an e-clip and
a c-clip.
Since the bearings had to end up in the same position on the shaft, why
would a new bearing (either one), in and of itself, reposition the blade?
Worn bearings introduce play, especially with a load from the material
being feed. You adjust with the blade turning and work from there, if
the bearing is shot.
A New bearing will take out the play. Time to readjust.
I used to have the same saw that you have. I could adjust the blade to
the miter slot and then the fence to the slot. Cut results were
unpredictable. I finally got to where I would simply sneak up on the
right adjustment for the fence after making a test cut.
What kind of fence did you have? I fought the original for too long. Replaced
it with the Delta T3 and it was like buying a new saw. Very consistent.
I had to cut the rails due to the size of my shop. When I upgraded to the
Bosch Glide Miter Saw, I was going to sell my old Delta. I never got around
to it and glad I didn't:
