As the title suggests I have a few questions regarding the installation of the SPC alignment cams. The kit I will be installing is model 86252, the ones that you drill a key hole and you are able to torque the nut rather than the bolt.

1. Would it make a difference to the alignment tech which direction the bolt faces on the rear control am bolts? The reason I ask is it looks like you would not be able to use a torque wrench to torque the nut in the factory configuration, but it would definitely be easier on me to install it in the factory configuration as I don't think I would have to remove the sway bar to do so.
1.1 Do most alignment shops actually torque the lower control arm bolts or just use open ends/box ends and get em tight?
2. Given how this kit appears to not rely on friction provided by tension in the bolt to hold alignment but rather uses the cams on both ends, should I use loctite on the threads?
Thanks!
