The redesign of the X-32 didn't have anything to do with problems with stability. It had to do with meeting the Cl required for the carrier approach once their, the Navies, requirements changed. Otherwise, he X-32 was faster and more maneuverable than the X-35. STOVL has always been hard especially for the mission being pushed for JSF. However, Boeing always knew that if LM got the lift fan to work they couldn't compete in the STOVL realm. LM got the lift fan to work and that was that.
