SPL front endlink nuts backing out?
SPL front endlink nuts backing out?
I have had my SPL front endlinks on for the past week or so. Very well built, quality feeling product.
However, when I went to recheck my install it seemed as though the nuts on the sway bar end link is backing out a bit?
I torqued them to SPL's spec (85 ft. lbs.) on the initial install. After a week of driving I was noticing a faint clunk or pop and drove my car up on an alignment rack at my buddy's shop. I noticed some play on the end link and it took a full turn or two before it went back to 85 ft. lbs. My sway bars are eibachs BTW and the front is set to the softest setting.
Anyone else experience this issue? Should I use lock tite?
I'll recheck again in the following week.
Thanks all.

Did you use any Loctite?
Edit:
Use Blue or Red Loctite. I went with blue and have had 0 issues.
