Same thing happened to me. We drove all the way home from Montana without realizing it, but an odd bouncing on a dirt road was unexplained until back home I was checking things over for another trip. I checked it a few months later and it was slightly loose - lower shock mount right side. So now I check it out of habit.

Yea it's sort of odd, I did a check of all my cv bolts a few weeks ago and checked both my lower shock bolts just because I was down there.. but somehow the top one came loose. I didn't think to check those.
I've put a ton of miles on the van since I rebuilt it, so I guess it's time to run through and check all those odd ball nuts and bolts.
