Replaced extruder/hotend - Reduced quality, shifting in layers?

I was having issues with a clogging V6 hotend. I swapped over to my second extruder (same type) which has had almost zero use.
I physically swapped the extruder assembly to the front.There is a big difference in print quality now. It looks as though there is slop in the lead screws but I find it hard to believe because the prints literally a day before were much better (and all the ones before that).
Below are a couple of images before extruder change and after.
The nozzle is the same. 0.6mm though.
