I've heard that some or all of the shock mount and pivot bolts can loosen (very easily and regularly). Can anyone tell me exactly which ones are a problem so I can take them out and loc-tight them? Thanks…

I've had an '04 and an '05 and haven't had a problem. I just took the time in the beginning to locktite and torque at the the start.
