Hi
I'm currently refreshing my front ARB on my 1990 944 S2. I've bought new bushes and the metal fittings, bolts and washers. The inner bush clips bolt to the brackets so I purchased new locking nuts. I was expecting nyloc nuts but what came were the same as what came off the car, just standard nuts. Would it be advisable to use loctite on these? I'm pretty sure there wasn't any on the nuts and bolts that came off but thought I would check.
Thanks

Just an update to say I fitted the new bushings on the front ARB today. I'm absolutely astonished at the difference in how the car drives. It feels like a different car. For the money and the age of these cars, if you're not sure how old your bushings are then I really recommend swapping them.
