Lippert slide out making noise.

I have a Lippert electric through frame slide out that recently started making a loud noise when I bring the slideout in. Crazy thing is it only start making the noise when it is already 3/4 of the way in. The noise sort of sounds like when you have a driveshaft that came loose in a car and it is banging against the bottom of the car but no where near as loud.
I put the slideout out about 1/2 way and could not find anything that shook or wiggled. But I didn't know if anyone had any ideas before I spend an entire day removing the entire one piece undercarriage to get a better look. Any ideas?
  • I have heard that some of the bedroom slides are making noise when being moved, the slide, slid on hard plastic slides, fix for this was the plastic slides were replace by rollers by MFG ... Problem fixed

    Safe travels
  • Can you get a view of the motor and drive while bringing it in. You should be able to and find if something is loose.

    Regretfully not a lot. I can see some but most is hidden by the under belly. May have to wait for a cool day and just drop the underbelly to get a good look.
