Yes, there are many possible sources of frictions differences, especially in the
turntables, quite sensitive to assembly (I had to lubricate two of them).
After making sure that all parts were correctly aligned and fully plugged, it
worked better but still moved in cycle instead of going straight (seams in my
tiling doesn't help!). I added a 16t driving two 16t on friction pin to get it
right.
