May require a rebuild as the balls have a flat spot on them.

I always sand my diff rings with 600grit sand paper and use carbide diff balls as they are more round and harder than steel

use very little clear diff grease on the balls. which will help with not slipping
that's exactly the explanation I was looking for, many thanks! I rebuilt the diff already and did it this way

I will switch for carbide balls in a near future
