Thanks for the update. I just purchased a 2007 5th wheel with a Sidewinder that has a 3-bolt version which are torqued to 85 ft-lbs according to Cequent, the manufacturer. The gap at the rear of the arm is quite a bit larger than at the front of the arm near the turret so I plan to take the unit apart after a few more weekends just to make sure the bolts, etc. are OK. I think I will take your advice and replace those bolts as well and also inspect and/or replace the turret bushing if needed. After 8 years of use by previous owner it is well past inspection time.
