Well, that's what my Indy called it - ties into the Upper Control Arm and goes
all the way around the car to the other UCA.
Bolt may have just fallen out OR it sheared off, if the latter, then the
whole thing needs replaced, I am told. He also said they usually break/shear
rather than the bolt just falling out.
THoughts?

I recall from my college days as a ramp monkey that there are different
kinds of "asphalt" pavement but I am not sure what their characteristics
are. We had a section of the space in front of our little FBO paved
over with something that resembled asphalt but was some special mix that
would hold up to the weight of aircraft, which concentrate a lot on a
very small area of the tires and in the summer when it gets hot some of
that stuff is about as soft as taffy. There was also something that was
referred to as "tarvia" that worked as pavement too. Everyone called
this new stuff "tarmac" but I don't know if that was just airport habit
or what.
