Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently.
And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing.
I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?!

How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 
😱

For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers.

Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification.

Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

In my humble experience with our car and Toyota - the majority we came across travelling around

Australia towing a van is they are uncaring, irresponsible and possibly dangerous. One of them

forgot to tighten the front wheel. Imagine the disaster if the wheel had decided to part company

at 90kph towing a 3t caravan.
