Likely it's a weak head. When switching to the bad head you have the bads. At your option depop head and/or selfscan it - maybe need to edit the script - the drive will turn 120 or so but will work, instead of a full 160 not utilizable.

If everything ok at pcb and sa, honestly I think only a headswap can work. Or try a different imaging method.
