There isn't a specific joint that needs to be checked, nor is there a reason anything should have came loose, except for a negligent mechanic. If you're worried, just check everything.

With most cars you actually need to tighten these types of joints with the suspension at ride-height to eliminate having the bushing pre-loaded under normal conditions that would lead to premature failure.

I'm not sure if there's any bolt or nut that really needs to be "checked" for tightness besides for something that looks out of the ordinary. I would however make an effort to get a look at your axle boots and balljoint boots for signs of cracking or rips. I would also look for leaking fluids and where they're leaking from. Not a bad time to see if your transmission mounts are starting to leak too.
