Noisy Slide

When I run the living room slide in or out it sounds like there is a bearing running dry in the center of the floor.
I have crawled under the slide out lubed the gears and everything else I can find but it still squeals.
I can not find the noise or where else to lube. Anyone have a hint where to look?

Had the same problem on ours last fall while at the Fall Rally. Talked to the Lippert guys and they came over and lubed the slides and all. No problems since! Don't ask me what they lubed because I was at a breakout and the DW was home. They had her inside and retract and extend the slide while they lube it and sure enough no more noise! Maybe someone will stop by and know what they lube or what they use to lube it!

Other than the obvious gears I wonder if Lippert sprayed silicone lub on the lower slide seals?

If you'll go to the Lippert site, and look at "lippert sheets", there is a PDF on noisy slides. IIRC, they recommend pulling the bushings on the gear packs and using synthetic motor oil as lube for the bushing/shaft. I posted the link on another thread recently, but can't locate it now.

Is the PDF for sqeaking 2x3 gear packs
Now all I have to do is find the gear packs and lube them and hope that is the problem

Thanks Will will look for them this weekend
