I strongly suspect that my Mazda dealer's service department didn't do diddly
for tightening up bolts at the 30,000 mile inspection and would like to do it
myself.  A problem with this is that I don't have a good idea of where to look
for loose nuts and bolts *first*.  (Neither the owner's nor the factory shop
manuals suggest what might like to fall off the car first.)  Harry, can you
(or anyone else) let us know where on the car to look for "30,000 mile
looseness?"
