    Just wondered if I needed to use loctite on these bolts? GM manual says to in one place but not to in another. I have them currently installed and torqued down but didn't know if I should pull one at a time and put blue loctite on and retorque?
    Thanks

    I put blue Loctite on mine. Kind of a pain though because you gotta get the bolts surgically clean first.
