Note there is some controversy about whether to replace bolts with new when retorquing or to reuse existing, due to the final stretch put on bolt.
Perhaps as a first step you could just test tightness of each one to say 45 or 50 lb-ft to check for loose bolts (one at a time only).
With DIY labor being free, if you don't have the torque wrench its a great time to buy one.
