Default Quick question, four wheel alignment and brake calipers

I recently had a bolt back out of my front brake caliper while driving. After a $3 replacement bolt I was back on the road no harm no fowl. About three weeks before I got new tires and a four wheel alignment. Would anything with the alignment have required the calipers to be touched? I wouldn't think so and if that's the case then I was the cause for the loose bolt seeing that I worked on the brakes last. I was just wondering. Thanks.

no need to touch calipers on alignment,,maybe you just did not get it tight enough,

Don't get too upset with yourself.....I did the same thing once many years ago (> 10 or so).

Lesson - I now double check myself and others I might be "helping" (my kids, friends, neighbors).
