The anti racking valve has a wheel on a pivot rod. The wheel follows a piece of channel that goes in and out in the direction of the slide movement. The pivoting of the rod depresses a plunger in the valve. Given the slide was too far rearward, and the valve was mounted behind the channel, I moved the valve closer to the channel to adjust the balance.
I think the slide had behaved similarly for as long as I have owned the coach. However, sometime in the last year, it shifted just a tick more so the skin of the slide would nick the skin of the coach going in and out. Why it shifted, I don't know, but time and miles do things.
The movement also caused a bit of the interior trim to rub the wall behind the dinette. I took the trim off, peeled back the leather and used a plane to remove a bit of wood to eliminate the scrub.
