Question:

While replacing the brakes on my 2014 Cedar Creek Fifth Wheel 31RK I decided to lube my Dexter EZ Flex suspension bolts. I noticed a couple of the link bolts would rotate even though they did not feel like they needed to be tightened. I lubed everything without any issues. Is this typical or a symptom of something I need to address. Thanks

Expert Reply:

Although the wet bolts have splines to help prevent them from rotating (see attached picture), it is not crucial that they remain still.

If they feel like they are tightened properly and they don't seem to be worn out then you will be good to go. Otherwise you can replace them with part # 018-026-05 on our site.
