I torqued the strut nuts to 26 ft-lb and used blue threadlocker. I have a GT500 STB on my 07 GT.

05red: good catch, I looked at my install notes and changed my post accordingly. I didn't mean to give erroneous info. I would use some threadlocker (blue) to mitigate any risk of it vibrating loose.

Thanks. I was going to install the A Arm brace while I was at my parents but couldn't find the ramps, torque wrench or time! need to find a garage here in Chesapeake, VA or the area to install the brace. I don't want to spend $80 for a wrench and $40 plus for ramps right now.

also be careful on the torque. Do not over torque. I ended up snapping a Strut Bolt after reinstalling my STB when i changed out my spark plugs. The good thing about it was that it gave me an excuese to buy the Steeda Caster plates and Tokico D-Specs. Installed those, and got the Pony realigned. Tracks so nice now.
