I have a 2011 Cx-11 and the number three deck is not lowering properly. I’m having to pin left side to get deck level. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

Everything have a good code of slip plate, including the outer slides? If so, the most likely cause is the flow divider malfunctioning. It could also bekinked hose ot a cylinder leaking internally as well.
Doealex and Muskyman734 Thank this. -
Not sure if you are in the cold yet, but my rig has definitely noticed it as it lowers much slower than it did a few weeks ago. A spray can of good lube or slip plate will temporarily help if it is a lube issue. Some warm day in the near future my rig gets a thorough slip plating to get me through the winter.

Cottrell has an option for 22w oil for northern climates. I haven't tried it but I would if I ever bought another high rail.

What ^^^^ Hammer said. You would be surprised how much better it will come down loaded freshly lubed. If you use the Fluid Film only use it on places you don’t come in contact with as it never dries like slip plate, but it works much better than slip plate on certain parts of your rig. Walmart.com has a case of spray cans of fluid film now cheaper than I have seen lately. I have a case on the way. If you buy it in gallons paint style cans you can brush it on and that will be the cheapest way to buy it. I carry cans of spray style for places that start sticking while I am on the road.
