Had a similar problem with my Thor Tuscany front slide (kitchen) which uses Lipert gears and tracks. Unfortunately, the track on one side was stripped beyond recovery and had to be replaced. BUT, the service tech I worked with gave me great advice. He said the track the gear drives MUST be lubed with a dry PTFE spray lube. Use the same lub on the rollers under the slide and the small rollers next to the tracks. This did the trick for me. Haven't had a problem since doing this. I ordered the same brand he was using from Amazon:
