Question control arm thread lock usage

I am doing my control arms and was curious if I should be thread locking the nuts and bolts that attach to the frame of the car? Ive used anti seize on the TRE's and pinch bolt's and have torqued down to factory spec on almost all of the bolts but the thread lock occurred to me after the fact.

Probably not a big deal. Did the old bolts have thread lock on them when you took them out? You should be able to tell if they did.
