Errol,
Sorry didn't mean to cause any conflicting info towards such items, I
plan on getting a set myself. You'll an order from me later in the year.
But I'm going to er on the side of caution anyway and use the loctite.
(most cars are use loctite on all suspension bolts). I dont want to have
to type the engineering reasons for why the are more likely to come
loose.
