Actually, one side came down much quicker than the other side. I thought these things were self-leveling but it's creakin when one side lands before the other. We usually put something under the jacks to make them make contact with the ground at the same time (or as close as possible) and I didn't do that last time.

Lube the screw and all the pivot points on the struts, etc. Next time, don't retract them so far.

The jacks themselves slide from side to side in a formed C channel which is how they are self leveling.

I wish I had something to claim that I did differently this time vs. past when retracting them.

I'm also a mechanical genius as well!

Electric rear stabilizer jacks - stop immediately

I'll be honest, the only thing that needs a quick swift kick is my ass right now. Managed lose a nut for my stabilizers. At Lowes I am.

Ok, things are put back together. I didn't lube the stabilizers yet. I bought some spray silicone- different brand but seemingly same stuff.
