street side slide Banging

Last year I had huge bangin noise and slide was jumping coming in. Turned out that a gear box gear had 90% of splines busted off. Had it repaired and then recently it happened again! Wonder if it was repaired properly. I ordered a new gear box for when I get it into a local dealer. no mobile suites dealer where I am in far west texas. Will probably take it to camping world in El Paso. Any ideas why this is happening...especially for a second time suggesting first repair fixed the problem but not the cause.

Never happened to me, but several years ago, (when first starting out) a guy told me that my 04 Alfa still hooked up to the truck, my front end was too high to use the S/O without damage.
He also told me that he had done the same thing and that he had busted the splines and burnt out his slide out motor. Just a story on the road that I'm passing along.

Chances are that the problem is the fact that the pinion gear is not meshing with the rack correctly. It is either too fare away or too close or running out of round and just knocking the teeth off....
