Default Is Threadlock similar to Locktite? I thought those things kept bolts from coming loose...
I guess you gotta add more of it then to keep that from happening again. Thanks for the heads up, especially since I plan on buying H-sports.

Yep - Had the same issue. H-sport should at least instruct folks to put threadlock on.

Default i some how managed to not lose mine. it was loose enough that when I reached under the car to check
it, i could tell it was loose, but didn't seem to have backed out. it was probably a matter of time.

Default Yep, I drowned the bolt in threadlock and it still needs periodic tightening
I now check it everytime I wash my car.
