This is probably a really daft question but I guess thats what the forum is for.

Ive sent my rear shock off to be serviced, its now back and working so I need to attach it back on. When I attach it back on do I need to put a bit of loctite on the bolts to keep them tight. Bit worried they might work a bit loose otherwise.

No reason not to 🙂

Just a bit where the nut fixes…do not get it inside the bearing/bush.

Remember to put it on a dry bolt thread and into a dry nut…if they are oily/coppaslipped then it will not function properly.

I’ve never put locking compound on any shock bolts and have never had one come loose.

If I was going to I’d apply a medium strength thread lock.

Probably more important to torque them right

Agreed, else it could bind. A threaded fastener (or nut and bolt) is designed to stay ‘locked’ if tightened to the correct torque, so in theory it shouldn’t need a threadlocker if you use a torque wrench.

However, a little bottle of threadlock costs considerably less than a torque wrench…
