Did Newell look at the coach? It is very easy to tell. Look at either of the slide openings in the middle of the coach. Either the vertical rear of the salon or the vertical front of the bedroom is the location. Look carefully at the upper trim piece. The upper skin and the lower skin are riveted together behind the trim piece, and if those rivets have sheared then you can see misalignment at the two locations I described. The tell tale inspection takes 15 seconds.

The slide bearing blocks are the blocks that those stainless rails run upon. They are made of Delrin, a high density self lubricating nylon. The SS rails do not need lubrication. I have not replace the ones in the bedroom so I do not know how to access them. I would think the entire bed assembly may have to be removed. The slide blocks have shims under them to adjust the height of the room in the opening. I had to shim my salon slide to get it square in the opening.
