When I heard the "pop" in my right side track, (and small particle parts of the drive gear and aluminum track fell to the floor), that was the very first time I thought to actually look at the rail.
Mine was chewed up much more than that, with many broken missing pieces, (as evident in the very bottom of yours).
If the two, (left and right), motors are synced they do not stress the rail. With normal lube and wear the aluminum just looks dark, (like at the top).
After dozens of complete up and down cycles, (after my warranty replacement of the Schwintek motors and rails), they now just look dark and greasy, without any gouging of the aluminum rail.
The gouging of the aluminum indicates that some out-of-sync operation has already taken place.
