MK3S X Issue

So I have been printing fine since I have gotten this printer towards the end of 2019.   I have ran into an issue today.  My X is forgetting where home is.  

I have restarted the calibration wizard and it looks like the Y or the X skips all of a sudden causing the X to be off and crash the system.  When it goes to auto level and start a print it doesn't set the X back to the front Left it just starts it where it is.   I now have three pressure points in my Build plate because the sensor failed to stop and it auto stopped before doing more damage.  This hasnt happened to me before and I have over 700 hours on this printer printed.

 

Has anyone had this issue where it just forgets how to home?

When was the last time you cleaned and lubed the Smooth Rods? 

The bearings are likely to jam if left dry!

That most likely the issue after poking around the interwebs.   I have the tub of lubrication that came with the kit and Im getting some WD-40 lithium grease for other stuff.
