Do we have a list of bolts that need re-tightening over time that may not be touched during routine maintenance? I’ve heard of people snugging up the valve gaskets bolts and checking the caliper bolts. Are there any other major ones out there?

Never heard of that, except if you have wheel spacers which require occasional checks on tightness.Do we have a list of bolts that need re-tightening over time that may not be touched during routine maintenance?

Did you initially reuse the old caliper bolt before it backed out?I learned the hard way, please check your front brake caliper bolts. I used blue loctite when I replaced mine with new (lost one) when caliper came loose.
Mine had no history from carfax or in the service records for the caliper bolts. It backed out after an 8hr drive from Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe 4 winters ago. I was lucky there was a hardware nearby where I got temporary bolt then eventually replaced it with oem one when we got home. During the time of the incident when I checked the other 3 bolts, they were all loose.Did you initially reuse the old caliper bolt before it backed out?
