The one beneath the kitchen cabinets rolls freely (not touching the underneath of the slide floor) when the slide is all the way out. Is it supposed to be free at that point? The primary rollers, that are accessed from the basement bins, seem to be functioning fine and the pinion gears appear to mesh with the racks perfectly.
