Loctite question

[Ty07allstar]

I am going to be installing the Racingbet rear sway bar and am wondering what I should on the bolts for the endlinks? I will probably end up changing the struts and springs sometime and want to be able to remove the endlinks without having to cut them. What should I put on them? I saw that there were a whole bunch of different kinds of loctite, high strength, medium strength etc. Which one would be best for the endlinks and what kind would be best to put on the other bolts for the rear sway bar? I have the clunk fix and will probably put the stuff on those bolts too. Thanks

Ive always used 243 medium strength. Strong enough to hold, and where you can still remove the bolt/nut when needed. I put that sh*t on everything.

DO NOT use anything at all on the endlinks. you will never get those nuts off again. it's a pain in the ass just dealing with corrosion let alone the added strength of loctite.

Should I put antiseize on them then?

 

[cougar10agREDUX]

i wouldn't, it acts like a lubricant and you might tighten them too much requiring more torque to loosen them once it dries.

Thanks for the advice.

no problem.

antisieze is better for stuff that get real hot, like O2 sensors and exhaust bolts.
