PSA for those with H-Sports. Check your rear bolts. I had one that was loose even with Threadlock

I lost an end-link bolt and a bracket bolt due to mininal threadlock usage.

I agree with oatzel, you must apply the blue thread lock (also known as Locktite).

2 years with H-Sports on lowered allroad, and never had a problem. But I used...

Loctite Red 271. That's a High Strength Heavy Duty version, much higher strength than Blue, or the standard Loctite Red. I'll probably have a hard time breaking it loose if I ever take them off.

Try Loctite 262, 270, or 272

The blue or purple stuff is made for smaller screws that see much less stress... be careful if you use 270 or 272 they are meant to be permanent...<ul><li><a href="http://www.loctite.com/int_henkel/loctite_us/index.cfm?layout=6&productline=262&disp_la nguage=en">Loctite 262</a></li></ul>
