Loose Spreader

Went up the stick the other day to take the stuck anemonitor(or wind thingy) down and when I was at the spreaders I noticed that the port one was loose in it's pocket. So I checked the tension on the rig and found it a little light.
I was wondering if the spreader is held tight by rig tension or by the bolt at the mast end? since the starboard one was not loose.:confused:

1977 E-29 standard rig
