Question about front shock replacement.

[jlemieu1]

Rookie repair question. I was wondering for those of you who have replaced your own front shocks. Should I use an specific grease when replace any of the bolts/rods? Or should I be using any Loctite (Red/Blue)?

I'm upgrading my Attak and my wife's Vector LTX to Ohlins up front.

I haven't replaced any, but I always put a heavy, fully synthetic marine approved grease on all of the suspension/shock bushings and blue loctite (242) on all suspension bolt threads. I'd do the same if I was installing new shocks.
