You might want to check clearances both at the bottom of the slideout and at top. Our slideout was contacting one of the overhead light lens. I discovered that the ceiling panel had sagged just enough for the light to rub on the inside top of the slide. It would slow down and then make a bump when the light let go. The bump actually sounded like it was coming from under the slide so it took me awhile to find the ceiling issue.
Another time a piece of siding had come loose and was rubbing against one of the slideout supports, it would make a popping noise.
