Our slide makes a load squeaky sound going in and out. Rear bedroom passenger side can we lube it or adjust it?

Yes you need to lube the slides at least annually. You can buy a dry aerosol lubricant, goes on wet but will dry quickly, at Walmart. Spray it on your exposed outside slides as will as the rack & pinion as best as you can. On the inside I use silicone spray, also available at walmart, With the slide fully extended lift up the slide carpet overlap. You should be able to see the plastic, probably nylon, slide rider bar. Spray the length of the bar, and the squeaking should go away.

RJ Have you checked the 4 bolts that hold the gear box motor to the wall on the driverside front slide. My bolts where ready to fall out so I clean them up one at a time and put Blue Loctite on them. I also use the silicone spray on the plastic strip but we use the vacuum to clean it out first, lot of stuff gets pulled under there.

Floyd, Thanks, yes I checked and tightened my gear box bolts as well. Mine weren't ready to fall out but two were loose. Vacuum first is a good idea.
