nuts and bolts
Always use Loctite on your suspention bolts. Especially where the lower control arms mount on the front and rear suspention.
If a nyloc nut has been removed and reinstalled 2 times, replace it.
On the upper rear end link rod, run a heavier heim end and install a longer bolt with a nyloc nut on the end of it. Remove the bolt regularly and check it for cracks after this improvement has been done, as it is the weak link on the rear after the upgrade.

 Re: nuts and bolts
While i agree with the longer bolts and ny-loc nuts you cannot use a heavyer heim end. Rule states "as is from 600 racing" that means no heavyer heim. I use a longer bolt with a ny-loc nut wherever possable on the car. If you have to remove a ny-loc nut anytime, replace it when you get home with a new one. You can purchase ny-loc nuts from any hardware store for pennies. If you do that youll have no need for loc-tight and it makes the bolts much easyer to remove when your in a hurry if you do not use loc-tight.
