Is Loc Tite Required When Installing Draw Tite Hitch on 2013 Nissan Rogue

Question:

Hello - I installed a Draw Tite 75902 per the instructions but was thinking of using loctite 242 for added safety. Is this ok?

When the install hardware of the Draw Tite hitch part # 75902 is installed and torqued to spec you wouldn't necessarily need to use Loc Tite 242 # LT37418, but it wouldn't hurt anything so if it give you some peace of mind then go for it.

If the hardware has already been torqued though you shouldn't remove it and reinstall it as the hardware is considered one-time-use since the bolts stretch when torqued. Removing the hardware would require you to replace all of it.
