Default Scheduled Maint : Retighten suspension bolts

Does anyone know if this is what we should do? Have the "suspension bolts" re-torqued. The owner's manual says to do it, but the dealers tell me no it's not needed.

Who's right? tell me what you guys think

okay so it's just an overall "let's make sure things are snug" sort of thing? and not re-torquing everything to spec with a torque wrench?

it says in the maintenance schedule that re tightening the axle bolt is part of the service. if you take your car in for the 15k mile service, they are supposed to inspect nuts and bolts on chasis and body of the car.

Here is one dealer's website listing this as part of their maintenance schedule:
