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,

That's what I was thinking so the blame is all mine I guess

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).
