There is an option that forces printing on same PIP side for each seperation try that.
 
  • Have you considered checking the calibration settings for the gray tones? Sometimes, a recalibration might help stabilize the color consistency
     
    I think before dealing with WH parameters and all that stuff you have checked some other things first.
    1- The gray color you are printing is it CMYK or is it only black
    2- What screening are you using? I think the most effective screening on the 5500 are HDI-175 and HDI-180
    3- As mantman said above, you could set your press to keep every separation for printing on the same side of the pip for every sheet, I usually use that option when my pip is around 70k clicks or more; and it works very good.
    4- Would be good to check if the electrometer is not dirty, it may affect your tones while printing
