Do you recommend me using loctite on all the suspension bolts?

My bike came with forks installed. How do I know they're straight and aligned properly?

Looks really good. And no nothing was properly greased where it should nor with loctite where it should.

Tip, just use the search button on this threads bar. Then you can search on torque and also search on suspension. You’ll find all the posts here talking about both. With torque you should find my torque specifications PDF file if you want to follow along with me. It has which loctite to use where on which bolts. Do your wallet a favor and just get the blue and red loctite from harbor freight. You’ll save heaps over big box store name brand prices.
