Interesting - after installing Konis I found the top nut has been fine, although I torqued them down before lowering the car or jacking up the control arm. Wonder if I should've torqued them with the car on its own weight, or just used loctite anyway. I'll keep an eye on it. I am getting a minor "mouse squeaking" at the dash/guage area. If I squeeze the gauge window against the dash it stops, but I wonder if the strut brace at the center is what's now fluidly translating road vibration via a much firmer suspension.
