Yes. Add a lock washer and, though I never do this, torque appropriately.

Which Loctite did you put on?

You could upgrade to orange or green but future me hates it when I go above the red.

34 ft/lbs torque to those three bolts. I ride salt, so I use anti-seize instead of locktite with good results. Lock washers are a must.
