Except on spacers, you should use it there.

Why on spacers and not on the wheels? That has never made sense to me. The spacer nuts fit exactly like the wheel nuts. What dcope said about the wheel seating and the nuts needing to be tighten is true for spacers as well.

 

It's cheap insurance for people that worry.My DC-1 aluminum wheel lugs never stayed torqued.I would drive for a few weeks,get a bad wobble and find the lugs loose.I had to tighten them every couple weeks without Loctite.It beats losing a wheel at 75 mph.

 

Yea, spacers are the same as the wheel. Same seating process.
Wheel spacer companies only provide loctite to keep from getting sued. They know there are lazy people that will just put them on and never remove the wheel to check the spacers. Loctite will at least keep the wheel from falling off. Which means... no lawsuits.

Boobyman... there are exceptions but not many.

I had DC-1 wheels too, and for the life of me lugnuts wouldn't stay tight on them. I didn't realize how bad it was until a fellow Jeeper pointed out in a parking lot that a lug nut was in fact totally gone!

I have since checked wheels like it's an OCD trait - I do at least a quick inspection every two tanks of gas.

 

I thought they put loctite on to just pi$$ off the next owner?

Also why do the wrench monkeys at Sears think they work for a Nascar pit crew and put on wheels with an impact gun? Was on my mom's car, and I had to change the brakes afterwards. Took a 3 foot breaker bar and a 280lb man jumping on the end of it to break them loose. Glad she never got a flat in the time between.

Haha been there. Wait till they beat on them long enough to mess up your lugs.

 

Yea it's pretty much just time it's faster
