The lock nut on the output shaft is torqued to 119ft lbs, backed off to 0 ft lbs, then re-tightened to 119ft lbs. I think the driveshaft bolts will back out at the factory torque specs, and that is why they come with thread locker from the factory.

yah i thought undertigntened driveshaft bolts was a known issue.

Under tightened axle nuts are a known issue, not the prop shaft ends...

My Allen studs on the diff side were also under tightened but I was able to feel a slight rock or knocking sound when engaging the clutch

100% looks like someone did not properly tighten the drive shaft bolts.

This thread is old.

The bolts will not back out at factory spec.

They do NOT come with locktite, nor do they need it.

Mine did, although it might have been bolt corrosion, there was a white residue we thought it was a thread lock. Haven't seen it on other cars I've done, but to be honest the clutches I've done, were basically swapping out a cheap replacement clutch for the real deal. Anyway I always place a tiny dab in the middle of the threads, it won't make it any harder to remove than an old untouched bolt. I came to this conclusion after I swapped my prop shaft 3 months after I did my clutch. It's probably overkill, but I'm not planning on touching my transmission other than for fluid changes.
