As you know the von wiese is one of the better jacks on the market - is it much older than the others? Channel Hopper is correct the pole is normal1y in a high winds location to small. 5" is the normal- my own 3.7 sits on 5.5" but I assume that your cross brace it pretty strong. if your sure that wind is not moving the mount, you can try to align again.

Check this on the ground first by hooking up the good jacks to the chapperal and checking that they move ok Once you have got the the dish moving using the chapperal then leave it at position so that you can update the 4DTV reciever. Check the east and west limits of the jack arm to make sure that you are not exceeding their mechanical limits and then re-program the 4dtv limits once again.
