Need help, surface cuts are wavy or have ridges on them

The surface on my cuts are producing these wave like cuts.

How do I correct this? One thing I should mention is that the wheels on my Y axis carriages are moving freely. Would this have anything to do with the uneven cuts?

Things to try:

Eccentric spacers have an off-center hole in them. Turning the spacer will allow you to adjust the distance between the wheels up to 1.2mm.

Thanks @WillAdams. You’re always a great help!

Btw, tightening the bottom wheels to the point where they’re barely moving on their own causes another issue. A wheel at the top is now moving freely. Not sure what to do since the docs didn’t mention anything about adjusting the top wheels.

On the gantry? Unadjust all the wheels so that they’re as open as possible — if need be, loosen the bolts on the end plates, push things down to square, then re-tighten them — gradually adjust the eccentric wheels to tighten things up, ensuring that things stay square.
