Hello all,
I’ve noticed that my disk mount connects to my stub axles with four bolts/nuts. I think they’re 3/8BSF bolts but could be 5/16BSW- I haven’t checked the thread count. But none of them have any lock washer I can see.
This seems like a high vibration area. They were just seriously tightened- can’t tell if they used a thread glue like loctite.
Is this common and acceptable? Should I be putting lock washers on?

Normally the end of the thread is staked over on them to prevent loosening
