I have contacted LCI multiple times about my slide issue. All they do is blame Thor. They say the schwintek design works great but if you tear apart the system and have any idea how gears and torque work you will see that it is designed to fail. I've said multiple times on this and other forums you can't have a hexagon rod go through a round hole with nothing to stop it from jumping around. Sure it will work at the beginning or after you replace everything but it will fail again. I have pictures to prove it will fail again. This is after 4 cycles of using the slide. Notice the bearing block is showing signs of failing. Click image for larger version
