Is Loctite Needed When Assembling Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer

Updated 07/16/2024 | Published 07/07/2024

Question:

I have ordered the Yakima RandR 66 trailer Y08106, which I know will have to be assembled. Do you recommend using liquid thread locker e.g. Locktite on the screw threads?

Hey James,

That's a good question, but as long as you torque everything down correctly (the install manual will call out specific torque ratings), using Loctite or another thread locker really isn't necessary. I actually don't recommend doing this because it could make any potential maintenance down the line a pretty frustrating experience.
