I know this is an old thread but still very useful information. I just replaced my rear struts and curious on anyone's thoughts or if anyone knows if Honda recommends loctite for the lower mount bolt or any other suspension bolts? I've searched and really didn't find any information related to Acura / Honda and the use of thread locker.
