This controls the operation of the centre spheres and if the electro valves are sticking then it can cause problems, so changing out the rear centres spheres won't make any difference if this is the problem.
the car is hard on both axles. could it be a coincidence that both blocks are damaged? the car was 5 years old and had 100,000 km on the dashboard when I bought it.

It's hard to know what the exact cause is without further investigation - could be spheres (incorrect or replaced copies), valve blocks or even a simple air lock in the system.
