Hey all I drive a 1992 Chevy 3500 daully to pull my tractors a red one and a green one >> well any ways I had to put on new brake pads and wheel cailpers on the truck about a year ago now this is going to sound a little fishy last fall the pass. side cailper the bolts came out ok got them back in a I HONKED them down as tight as could ok this week end the truck started to sound like some thing is loose and going to fall out.Now I did rotate the tires and I did put on 4 NEW shocks and tonight the noise had me worried I limped home and crawled under and GUESS what I found .... the drivers side cailper bolts where about to fall out I KNOW I put them in and I know they was good and tight can they work out??? I think they had help but I cant prove it

They used lock tight from the factory.

Put some blue Loctite on them.

Allan is right; they used Loctite at the factory. I had a heck of a time getting the bolts off my GMC Jimmy the first time. Then the passenger side caliper fell off after about 15 miles, losing one of the bolts in the process. I added lock washers to all the caliper bolts, and bought bolts one size longer than original to make up for the thickness of the washers. No problems since.
