The factory certainly isn't the only place to get the slides fixed. They just have the most knowledge to do it. The flat floor slides that Newell uses are somewhat more complex than some slides and all Newell slides use an air bladder and solenoid operated locking pins.
During the 1990's, Newell used Ross steering boxes and either a Rockwell front suspension or a Dana Independent Front Suspension. Airbags were Firestone. Suspension work on 90's models can be handled by most Over The Road truck mechanics.
