Question about slide

I'm sorry about all my different questions but being my first RV this has been a huge learning experience especially since I bought a used RV i've been doing a lot of preventative maintenance and seem to keep discovering things I'm not sure if there normal. Anyhow, with regards to my slide because it's been making a bit of noise when being retracted I've been doing some troubleshooting and lubricating the rails. I noticed that when being retracted the front portion of the slide seems to come in first before the back end does. I understand they need to be realigned from time to time but this is a 2012 and the dealer wants to charge just to look at it. It operates fine expect for the noise which may end up being normal. The front end is just a tad bit faster the the rear end and when fully retracted it almost corrects itself once the front end reaches its final point until the rear fully closes by pushing itself a back out and then fully closing. Based on the operation of other slides is this normal? Thank you!

During the initial movement, a little slop is ok. If it all squares up at the end, it's fine.

If one end truly goes faster the entire trip compared to the other end and winds up more out of square than when it started, that is an issue.

Thank you. It ends up closing perfectly square and aligned. The front end just gets there first and the only way to notice is at the end it's obvious because one end seals before the other and then almost appears to push back out while the other closes. Thanks!
