    I just replaced my u joints yesterday and was wondering if I should put some Loctite on the bolts when re-installing the drive shaft?

    Can't hurt...I would suggest a medium grade as a retainer. If you use red , you can always use a little heat later on to break them loose if you have to remove the bolts.

    It never hurts to use loctite on parts that you don't want coming loose....
