Did you put threadlocker on your upper and lower control arm shafts?
Did any of you guys use threadlocker on your upper and lower control arm shafts? It seems to be a common thing that there is worry that they can work themselves loose?

Re: Did you put threadlocker on your upper and lower control arm shafts?
I answered this in the other thread already, but I'll repeat that I do not use thread locker. Millions of trucks came from the factory without it, and until I saw it floated at this site recently, I never heard of it being done.

You should not need it. Factory replacement parts coming from Moog I installed last year make no mention of it in the installation instructions.
All Made in USA stuff specified that I ordered from Jegs. Good Stuff. |

I didn't use threadlocker on my 71' Monte Carlo and one bolt fell out and the others were loose. Reinstalled with blue locktite and they've been fine since.

I used suspension grease for the cap threads and assembly lube for the hardware.
