Thread lock - what do people use?

[jvanzyl]

Hi All,
So it looks like I need to get some thread lock as part of the coilover/edfc installation. Can anyone please provide a recommendation as to what they use?

Cheers,

John

This is the current pick from Amazon:
Loctite 2700 OEM Specified High Strength Thread Lock & Sealant - Stud / Nutlock - FREE FIRST CLASS UK POSTAGE!  m https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00G5GB7RI/ ... 4ybPSZF9CG m

2700 is good stuff- but meant for stuff you're not too  likely to disassemble.. it locks and glues.

Loctite 243 is a good threadlock but not nuclear strength.  We tend to use it on stuff that needs not to drift apart on its own, but that we might want to take apart/loosen in future.

243 - Gotcha! thanks for that, I was reading on the tein diy section of how people are regularly encourage to check the top nut due to them vibrating loose...
