Rat Rig 500 Hybrid Y-Axis jumping and loud noise

I have built a few RR V-Core 4 500s but have never encountered this before. The X-axis runs smoothly, but the Y-axis moves in the right direction with many jumps and noises. I have pulled apart the motor mounts and checked if there are any issues with the bearings, but it looks all fine. I have no explanation for it and need some help to sort this out. Any help is appreciated.

your hybrid steppers are wrong direction one or both its a bit tricky to find out which one. you can tell it to move Y back and watch which of the Y Hybrid steppers is moving the wrong way and skipping ideally you would loosen the belts now so it doesnt actually skip

steppers/cables are not always 100% the same direction you just need to overwrite the dir pin direction in config

You are a live saver. Works 100% I just was asuming since it says in the documentation it don't matter the cabling aslong you use the motors and cable that it comes wiht it. @Mitsuma Thanks you very much my friend
