Default SPF Check The Front Brake Caliper Mounting Bolts

Last week while city driving from a local car show, I felt and heard a slight shutter in the front wheels. Not sure wich side at the time. As I stopped at a second stop light it really ground and shuutterd. After trailering the car home and removing the passenger side front wheel. I found that the I was missing a caliper plate attachment bolt and the one that was remaining was super loose. The inside of the wheel had a deep gouge all the way around it from the caliper grinding into it. The car only had 850 miles on it #2864 so I thought that was odd.

Applause to my dealer, Dynamic Auto West out of California and Reno because they took care of the parts etc. without a hassle.

I removed the bolts from the other caliper mounting plate, they were tight, but found that thread locker was not used on them. I reinstalled both sides with thread locker.

Some of you with newer cars might want to check the bolts.

Anybody else run into this problem?
