How important is Loctite when working on the suspension?
Hi everyone,
I had a pretty easy question. How important is using Loctite on suspension bolts and nuts? I recently installed a set of Tein Flex coilovers and RE Toe Links + Trailing arms, and I didn't use any Loctite.
So, how important is it really? I made sure to torque everything to spec (I checked every bolt like 4 times just to be sure), but are my wheels going to fall off or something if I didn't use Loctite? Or is it just considered sort of an extra safeguard/precaution?
Should I go jack my car up right now and go Loctite everything, or am I safe to drive?
Thanks!
