Found cause of loud bang on incline!

A while back I posted about a loud bang when starting from an incline. Well, today the problem unraveled and I found the cause.
Since the initial bang, the problem has been getting progressively worse, I though this was a mount going bad. Bang when coming to a stop, bang when accelerating. Well, this morning I was driving on the highway and started getting a really bad knocking sound loud as all... the entire car started to vibrate, loud knocking, turning left or right increased knocking and vibration. I drove it on my hazards to shop, guy put it up on the lift and it turns out I lost my driver front caliper guide bolt and the caliper was floating and banging against the disc/wheel.
I guess it was loosening up for the past few weeks and finally fell out this morning. $59 later I was out the door with a silent and tight suspension. The brake job was DIY.
