99 3500 ind susp upper control arm ?
Going back together with my completely renewed front suspension and forgot until now to ask this question. When I stripped the upper A frame down, it looked and seemed as though they may have used some Locktite on the pivot arm end threads securing the bushings during assembly. I could be wrong and seeing something that ain't there but I figure I better ask before final torqueing. Does anybody have knowledge of whether Dodge used Locktite during assembly and is it really necessary to go back with it? I guess while I'm at it, I'll ask about bleeding the abs brakes. I have never bled abs before and it's been many many years since I bled any brakes at all so, do I bleed with the engine running or without. I searched on brake bleeding but found no ref to engine on or engine off. I am also replacing the master but going to bench bleed it before install. OK, Ya'll got the shade tree question of the day LOL. Thanks for any insight, Frank

Who'd of thunk? After closer inspection of the nuts, they are actually oddball looking lock nuts and the bleeding is same ( except for proportioning valve) as non abs as per digging deeper into my dealer copy service manual.
