Fixed Side Vs. Float Side for Replacement Standard Dual Rack Repair Kit Wall Slide-Out

Question:

My slide-out looks like it has the same # 366154 kit using the flanged track on the bottom rack on both the left and right side of the room. What is the difference between the fixedinch side and the floatinch side?

The Replacement Standard Dual Rack Repair Kit for Lippert RV In-Wall Slide-Outs - Fixed Side, # LC84FR is the left side of the slide-out as looking at it, facing it, from the outside. The float side, # LC26VR, will of course be the right side as facing the slide-out from the outside.

The "Fixed" assembly will have the installation alignment flange of the shipping angle on
the right-hand side of the assembly, when looking at the "S" track on the gear rack. The "Fixed" assembly has
an aluminum rivet in the bearing block that prohibits the bearing block from moving. The "Float" assembly
will have the installation alignment flange of the shipping angle on the left-hand side of the assembly, when
looking at the "S" track on the gear rack. The "Float" assembly has a plastic rivet in the bearing block that is
designed to shear to allow for movement of the bearing block.
