Check the W arm for cracks. They where prone! Check the whole skid for cracks. You can grease the bearings but if they are not silky smooth when rotated replace them.

Bushings are probably shot on the swing arms. They are nylon or plastic and they don't last.

Rail tips on my 05 where not loose so I don't know what is going on with yours. Loose seems odd!

New bearings on the drive axle!

Jackshaft bearing update to locking collar if not already done.
