How the heck can the bolt be missing? The coach would be on the ground without it.

Are you also missing the part that the bolt screws in to? With out a bolt the flat plate it screws in to would just flop around and fall out.

The bolt is gone. The pork chop is currently resting on the flat plate nut that the bolt is supposed to screw into. I just replaced the tires a couple weeks ago. The ones that were on it (235/85/16) had a much larger dia. than what is on there now (225/75/16). I suspect that the previous owner may have backed the bolts all the way down to get the correct ride height and it must have fallen out at some point. There is no kind of lock nut on the other bolt either. Might be a good idea to add some when I replace the bolts so this doesn't happen again. Glad I found this before I started using the coach!
