How old is it?
It may be time to flip the plates and get new balls.
Did you run it in and only have it as tight as you need, not tighter?
Or
Sometimes you can get away with just a good clean and new grease with a bit of a run in again.

Get some new balls and flip the plates (unless you glued them in place, then you'll need new ones!) and read the Durango build guide as you go.

With bearings like that, its (technically) better to be too loose, have a bit of slip, then tighten them up, than start off too tight and brinell the bearing races.
