    Question Noisey slide out when extending/retracting

    My living room street side slide out makes a groaning and squealing sound when I extend or retract it. At first I thought dry seals, but apparently they are pre-lubed for life. It seems to move slower than it did before. The curbside, and other slide outs seem to move at the usual rate. What should I be checking and perhaps doing to resolve this issue. Thank you.

    Lots of us have this same experience. You can spray some lube into the slide out channels and on the gear rack and it might help.

    I can't eliminate mine. Sometimes it might not make any noise, sometimes it's embarrassingly noisy.

    imo it is just poor mounting and supporting of the slide mechanisms that GD uses. Things flex and then there is noise.

    Check the floor rollers for the box to see if there are any binding or not rolling well. It'll take two people and flashlight and some time.
