Meaning of "kingbolt" in English

A "kingbolt" is a key component in the structure and functionality of vehicles, traditionally used in horse-drawn carriages, connecting the axle to the rest of the undercarriage.

In modern terms, it often refers to a central or crucial bolt in various mechanisms, symbolizing its importance in holding the construction together. This concept can apply metaphorically to denote an essential part in any stable structure or system.
