Slide Out Making Banging Sound

When I extend or retract one of my slide outs, it makes several banging noises that are coming from the underside of the RV. This happens every couple of seconds. I opened up the coroplast and saw nothing out of the ordinary. I also lubed the rails real good while I had the underbelly opened up but it made no difference. What else should I be looking for?

  • It's a Rack and Pinion slide out in a Forest River Hemisphere 5th Wheel. I don't know who actually manufactures the slide out.
  • Might help to know what brand/type slide mechanism you have. Could there be a tooth of a cog wheel broken if it exists?
