Last week I replaced the rear brakes, then took it to an event over the weekend.
On the way home I started hearing noise from the front. Of course it's 50 miles from home, almost as far as the last time it happened.
Crawled under, and found the driver's side brake caliper mounting bracket had loose bolts to the differential.
Today I took it apart and used locktite and nord lock washers on those two bolts.
This also makes for the last halfshaft that still needed the blue hummer locking bolt kit installed.

Yeah, I ended up reusing the bolt. Probably shouldn't but it is what it is.
This makes the third caliper mounting bracket that has loosened up on my truck. Front both have nordlocks, the rear I was in a hurry to finish up for the event and just tightened then down as best I could with an open end wrench, and I'll get to it later. If I remember correctly the right rear could also use a new seal for the output flange on that side, which I didn't have on hand so I didn't take it all apart.
Oh, as a side note, don't start touching anything in the brake system unless you're able to wash your hands and arms before touching anything clean.
