Ride height linkage rod bolt

Need some help finding the bolt that connects the ride height linkage rod to the rear axle. I accidentally sheered my passenger rear off and won't be able to drive it until it's fixed. It's an odd shaped shoulder bolt that looks like has to be an exact. I can't find anything like it at home depot. I will try to post up a picture later. Perhaps someone has replaced one in the past.

I replaced all of my ride height valves a few years ago, and I had to destroy most of those bolts getting things apart.

I replaced those bolts with ordinary bolts. I used double nuts on each bolt to make sure that the nut didn't come off.

Caution: make sure not to tighten the nut on the bolt so tight as to clamp the air ride arm too tightly. The bolt only has to act as a pin. You don't need to clamp the linkage rod on the arm. If you get my drift.

If rust and corrosion of nuts and bolts is to be a problem in the future, GO stainless steel and use locktite.

Craig,

Give this place a try:
Repair Kit Leveling Rod, 48100225, Haldex Anchorlok - Ryder Fleet Products

Bob

P.S. I met Van yesterday and your coach is the one that got away. He is stumped and thinks you need to bring it to North Carolina so he can figure out what the problem is.

"The one that got away"--LOL

Yes, Bob, I have taken on Craig's coach as my personal crusade. I've yet to encounter a coach whose wandering I could not cure, or whose handling I could not improve...except for one! I've told Craig that as long as he is willing to keep trying things we will no doubt cure that road wild beast. LOL And yes, if I could get him to NC, we can fix it for sure with, at most, a few day's work.

Looking forward to seeing some of you guys I've dealt with over the last year. We are in the third row of the campground. Sandlewood colored Dynasty 36. Stop by!

Thanks all for the suggestions and thanks for the link Bob. I will end up buying the linkage rods as well. Its probably time for all three to be replaced anyways.

Van has been very kind on all the help so far. The cross brace didn't work for me but I discussed with Van that my problem may be coming from the front end anyways. I installed his nifty front Panhard brace yesterday and am anxious to try it out once I get this problem fixed.

If I could somehow just get Van to move to Vegas, the wandering fix would move along much faster.
