Suspension Reinstall - Loctite?
I have never done this, but having read another thread on here which mentioned doing so I want to be sure. I was looking for torque specs when I came across this info.
Do we need to loctite the control arm mount bolts and nuts?
I've had my suspension apart several times in the past on my first two C5s and never worried or thought to loctite anything other than the caliper bracket bolts.

The stock eccentric bolts dont get loctite, I just always tightened them as much as I could so they wouldnt slip on track. The AMT camber kit has lock washers on them and need like 140ft-lb to keep from backing off, but again no loctite.
