With the cable slides, the whole slide-out rests on a couple of rollers. There isn't two rows of rollers to keep the slide balanced, the cables do that. There are eight cables: one at each corner. The cable mechanism works as a give-and-take system. It is this system that keeps the slide balanced and not tip over. If the cables aren't adjusted just right, the slide tips over (how much it tips depends on how out of adjustment the cables are) a bit. Then, as the cables tighten up, it pulls/jerks the slide.

Once the slide reaches the all-out or all-in position, the wall and frame of the slide meet and forces it plumb.

Long story short, the cables might need adjusting. When in all-out position, check for uniform slack in all four outside cables. When in all-in position, check for uniform slack in all four inside cables. Cables should not be loose, but have about 1 inch of total movement in the center.
