Yesterday I checked an Elite Suites 38RSSA with the 9K MorRyde axles at the request of the owner. 2 bolts missing on the right rear caliper; all the others were in place.
The 9K axles use a MUCH larger and heavier caliper assembly than my 8K axles, and the calipers are mounted at the 12:00 position, so gravity kept the caliper in place even with the missing bolts although I was able to lift it out of its mount by hand.
We pulled, greased and Loctited (blue) the bolts on the other 3 calipers. Some were loose, some were tight, some were Loctited, some were not, and none were greased.
Fortunately, the owner isn't moving for a few weeks, so he's waiting on the missing bolts and sleeves to be shipped from DRV. The 9K bolts don't seem to be the 90 Buick Century bolts used on the 8K calipers - we couldn't match them up at O'Reilly's or NAPA.
