MK3S+Kitbuilt XAxis Crashing

My printer has developed an increasingly severe x axis crashing problem. Printer has worked flawlessly for months but crashed a few prints ago but was able to recover and finish prints. Now even after stopping print and move axis to try to detect problem which seemed to fix the problem for a few prints before, the printer will not go through even the bed leveling process without a crash.. X axis slide bars are clean and belt tension has not changed. When switched off, turning the motor pulley by hand there seems to be more resistance when moving to the right.. As if the slide bars are not parallel.. ??

Firmware just updated to 3.13.2-7080.

Anyone have thoughts?

have you lubricated the smooth rods and bearings?

Just lubed the slide and she went right back to printing!!. So thanks!! Leads me to think maybe it's time to lube the whole machine.. Is there a procedure outlined anywhere?

Anyway, thanks again.. I do feel the fool. But will learn from it..

Cheers Alan
