The 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. During the repair process the nut was removed from the opposite side and found that the hole in that hanger bracket IS also deforming but, currently to a lesser degree than the one that failed.
