Slide Out Won't open or close

   Hi everyone!  Have a 2009 RP174.  I hit a bump on the way home from a camping trip and noticed my slide became loose at the bottom (almost as if it wasn't connected).  Since I purchased RV the top of the slide bounces in and out a little bit too much for comfort, so I purchased a slide lock bar on to place interior to hold it tight inward at the top while in tow.  When I got home pulled the bar out at the top and tried to extend slide.  Motor ran but slide didn't move in or out.  After research, i'm assuming there are shear pins that sheared are or now missing.  Does this sound right and the solution to my issue?  If so, Can i purchase any shear pin to replace or does it have to be exactly what was there?  I'm having a hard time figuring all of this out.  Thanks for any advice.
