I was talking to the guys at brenspeed about this. They didnt seem too concerned about it. They just recomended using loctite. I re used mine but down the road i think im gonna swap em out for new ones, just to be safe

I have to admit I didn't replace them. My rear suspension has been torqued twice (factory and me) and the front three times. If I undo the strut-to-spindle bolts again I'll definitely get new ones, those are torqued to ~140
