NHTSA complaint 11349091THE BOLT IN THE FRONT AXLE HANGER BRACKET DISLODGED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN CHATTANOOGA TN AND MERIDIAN MS. I REALIZED THIS AS I WAS RE-TORQUING LUG NUTS AND NOTICED THAT THE BOLT WAS MISSING AND I HAD EXCESSIVE TREAD WEAR ON THE FRONT AXLE TIRES. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED DEFORMATION OF THE BOLT HOLE IN THE HANGER BRACKET. I CHECKED ALL OTHER NUTS AND BOLTS AND ALL WERE TIGHT.
