Wondering about SRD lower tie bar

Hey guys, I was wondering If the nuts on the upper ttl arm bolts looked like this with the SRD lower tie bar on. I'm just wondering if its safe and not to worry about it. I torqued my down to about 90 ft. lbs. and may put some mild thread locker on it just to settle my worries.

Just don't install the thick washer. Nut will then be fully threaded in. Nut surface area on rod end is big enough to skip the washer.

Ive used stock ones and they were fine, those are a bit rusty, Id sandblast them before I put them back on

Yeah, I've got the mazda speed trailing arm and lateral link set and instead of replacing just the bushings on the adjustable lateral link, I bit the bullet and bought brand new ones from mazda. Plus tokico struts and eibach springs, mazdaspeed strut mounts, corksport tower bars, v6 sway bar and the disk brake conversion. there is a lot more I did to the suspension on the car and brakes. Lets just say I spent to much and haven't driven the car in 2 years. I’ll get more pics if you guys want to see when I get the cold air intake couplings replaced.
