Reference; 9.625" Differential with 4.89's

When I installed the differental with brand new 4.89's, I had about 1/8" of rotational lash. Today doing a preventative maintenance inspection, I find I now have 1/2" to 5/8" of rotational lash. Is this because new 4.89's have worn in, or is there a internal problem.
My Bumblebee with about 3000 miles still has only about 1/8 to 3/16" of rotational lash.

I have no experience in working on differentials, thus the question.
