Spec is going to be something on the order of 20 NM. They don't need much torque on them.

Bill, I've never had a problem with camber plate bolts loosening, but if I were to Loctite them, I wouldn't use anything stronger than the blue. Am I wrong, or did I see a Loctite Green for low strength applications?

Blue is medium strength.

I had my car up on the lift today changing tires and checking everything out for a DE next week. For some reason on the front struts all 4 of the rear camber plate to body M8s were loose. Front 4 were fine, very odd.
