As for the threads, mine came with a nut that has 3 embosses to lock on the threads after installation. The book doesn't say anything about thread locker, nor does the papers that came with the ball joint...I'll use the red stuff.

I missed your post earlier about thread locker on the threads...I thought he was talking about someone coating the ball joint body with it before installation (I've seen that happen before)
