Trailair Equa-Flex, problem, need advice?

I installed the Trailair Equa-Flex on my 5vr about a year ago. Worked really well for about 8000 miles, but now I'm seeing and hearing something that's not right. When parked and running the front jacks up or down the Equa-Flex makes a clicking noise (click, click, click). I also noticed when the click sounds a slight movement also happens in the Equa-Flex that corresponds with the click. I obviously hadn't noticed this when driving, only when parked.

Has anyone seen or heard something like this? Could the bolts have gotten tighter? Any help is well appreciated. Thanks

You may want to check the zerk fittings and put some lube in there?
