Hey guys,

How do you adjust your slide? My slide is crooked as hell. When extended, the top doesn't touch the wall leaving a big gap. The left side of the slide is also lower than the right.
I read there is just nuts and bolts to move. Is it that easy?
 
What you describe sounds more like a structural failure than an adjustment.  Look under the slide and see if wood rot or something else made one or more attachment points fail.

What kind of slide mechanism do you have?  There are several types ranging from motor driven direct dive rack and pinion (gears on a shaft drive toothed tracks on each slide rail) to hydraulic pistons pushing on the slide while cables hold it square.
 
Cross my fingers and hope it's not mechanical. -.- I already feel frustrated with this thing.

I am not sure on the mechanics. It's a 2004 wildwood le. I'll have to read the manual.
 
Hey guys.

I took photos and such of the issue. Let me know what you think.
