Is LocTite Needed When Installing Draw-Tite Hitch on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
Question:
Do I need to use LocTite on the mounting bolts? Or just tighten dry. What is the metal tab to the left of the receiver for? A wiring connector?
asked by: Trey H
Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75471 comes with lock washers that you use for the install so LocTite isn't necessary or recommended by the manufacturer.
You are correct, the tab to the left of the receiver is for mounting wiring like part # 118258 or # 118415 to your 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe with a bracket like part # 18144.
