Default Common bolts/nuts that come loose and need re-torquing?

Hi All, my 2006 C6Z with 60k has a few squeaks and intermittent clunk in the rear. I used to have the creaking on accel and decell which was solved after installing and torquing new axle nuts. Are there bolts/nuts anywhere on the vehicle that people commonly see come loose with age?

I have heard people talk about the swaybar end links being noisy and becoming loose.

Also check the sway bar bracket mounts to the chassis, they have been known to come loose, especially in back.

I was chasing a rattle noise and someone suggested the Tunnel Plate bolts. Sure enough two were missing and a few others were loose on my car. The rattle turned out to be an exhaust hanger spring.
