Help!

I put this under the brakes forum, but thought it might be a suspension problem so I'll post here also. My caliper bolts keep coming loose. What would cause these to vibrate so much they come out. One just came out and my caliper dropped down, stripped the inside of my rim and cracked it. Ever heard of this or have a solution? Thanks

ive never heard of that! You would think with enough vibration those bolts could come loose but i run an aggressive MT that i know vibrates the crap out of the brake and my bolt are always tight.

Id say its more of a problem with the way the bolt is threading it. can you get them really tight? Im trying to picture my bolts do they have a nut or is it threaded into the caliper? Possibly stripped or cross treaded. Maybe try new calipers.

Always a good time for an upgrade lol!

Truck Specs please!
