Hi, I have a 2014 SHO just recently on 7/24/20 I got new pads and rotors from power stop and had them installed. Last Friday I was driving and heard a quick ticking in the front right then a loud bang, the car couldn’t move. I come too find out the top caliper bolt back out and the caliper fell forward into the inside of the rim and was dragging. I luckily had a friend who knew cars and came and put another bolt on, I went too the place that installed them and brought it to their attention that the bolt came out and they stated that had nothing too do with them and a vibration backed it out. I read a couple places that thread lock glue would have prevented this issue if they put it on, is that something that needs to be put on? Again only the rotors and pads were replaced so it is weird too me that a bolt that has been their before never backed out in the past. Ford just inspected the other calipers and said that they were put on totally wrong and that the back caliper bracket bolts he could loosen with his hand. My main question is thread lock glue something that they should have been put on? Any thoughts please, this is a whole sh*t show for me.

might want to post this in the forum for the newer Sho's, this section is for the older Gen 1/2 Sho, 1989 to 1995
