Wheel spacers: Loctite or no Loctite?
When I’ve used Spidertrax in the past, I believe the instructions were to use the loctite only on the factory studs you are mounting the spacer to. Maybe they’re taking the “better safe than sorry” approach.
The instructions ask for 90ft-lbs when installing them with loctite. After 50 miles, you re-torque at 80ft-lbs to see if anything moves.
If they move at, the loctite did’t work and should be done over.
Is what I gather from that.
I would not use loctite on the spacer studs you are attaching your wheel to. Then your concern would come to point.
If you do plan on using loctite, you could use the Blue as it is removable.
But, if the manufacturer is recommending not using, even voiding the warranty if using, I probably wouldn’t use any.
Some people like them and have no issues, some people hate them and have had them fail.
Personally, I’ve used them in the past and would use them again.
