Thanks for everyone’s input.

The hydraulic slides are creeping out because you still have some residual air in those lines to those cylinders or lines.. cycle the slides open and close and wait a few minutes.. then repeat process again WAITING a few minutes after each cycle to allow air bubbles to diminish…
I’ve replaced two hyd slide lines and took a bit to get all the air purged..
** the slides are held closed via hydraulic pressure so any air will cause them to slowly creep out a bit
