What about the following theory:

Could this result to a super stable rear end, which does not turn and causes the car to understeer and a front end, which spins all the time, causes the center diff to get fried (instead of having something binding in the rear and cause the same thing)?

I think this is possible. A lot of rear chassis flex should increase rear grip.

I would check some of those bearings by hand though just to see if anything feels gritty.

Someone mentioned setting 3mm of gap between brake pads and discs. I am surprised you have any braking with that much gap. Did you mean something smaller than 3mm?
