Oil the link. At the door and at the roller mechanism.

Helps to remove the track cover. Two screws. Up from underneath. One
fore and one aft.  If it's not been removed recently, a chunk of 2x4
and a hammer will help persuade it. If you've not removed it before,
remove the screws, pull the bottom away from the tabs from which you
removed the aforementioned screws, place 2x4 flatwise against the
bottom of the cover and persuade it up off the top clips.

Once you have the cover off, where to oil becomes obvious.  I consider
it to be yearly maintenance.
