Hello Mike,

I too have seen this on our Rig. I believe the gap is to allow some flexibility as the slide reaches it's final seating either in or out. If the nuts were to be clamping the piston rod securely to the frame this could put a stress on the piston shaft and possibly eventually cause a crack, either in the shaft thread just behind the nuts or a crack in the frame.

No slide goes out or in perfectly. Does that make sence?

Happy Camping
