Just curious that I noticed one of my GT base front caliper bolts sticking out more while the other ones do not appear popping out.

What kind of servicing will I need to do to fix this or it is normal, Brakes have not been serviced yet, only 6K miles on car.

front brakes sometimes give a sense of turning the wheels little when going to a full stop at slow speed, but not at every stop. I also experience no vibrations or noises.

Not a bolt.

You should be able to tap it back flush. Might have to wiggle things a bit if the pin has come all the way out of the hole in the back side of the caliper.

Those are the pins your pads slide on. Tap it back in and ensure that the retaining wire clip is still on.

Thanks, I took a rubber mallet and gently pushed it back in, could still see the spring clip wires still intact through the pin holes on other side.
