Could it be the bolts on the jacks are loose or what could it be?

My experience with my rear jacks doing the same:
I Called Winnebago and they hooked me up with a Lippert rep. I explained what was happening in detail to him. He told me that there were a bad batch of jacks manufactured. He explained that these jacks were fine until the user extended them to the max stop. This would slightly damage the inner seal and cause a slight leakage internally.
He told me to look at the rear jack sticker and give him the date. (Don't rub hard it will wipe the info off) one of the dates during the bad run of jacks was 10/23/2012. I told him I would remove and replace them if he would send the replacements to me. The jacks came I exchanged them and sent the bad jacks back in the same box. They come without the foot.
I have not had any noise since.
My personal belief about the additive is that it is only a seal enhancer and not good for the long run. But it sure beets them not having to replace the jacks now.
