Will Loctite 660 prevent splined shaft failures?

[PeteW]

I have a replaced the axle assemblies on my FWD Volvo V70. Volvo calls for the use of a metal adhesive to be applied to the splines before inserting them into the hub. One time I did not apply an adhesive and the hub splines wore out from what the experts call "micro movement".

Apparently the use of something like Loctite 660 Silver Quick metal is recommended for splined shafts and hubs that are slip fits. It prevents the micro movements that result in premature failure of the splines.

In every Pearson 365 there are 5 splined shafts and hubs in the drive train. Four of them are in the Walter RV-10. I've rebuilt Walter V drives and all of these splines eventually get loose due to micro movement.

I'm thinking the use of this Loctite product in the V-drive assembly seems like a good and thing to do. Especially in my case where my larger engine operates at the upper limits of the torque range for the RV-10. And Its use may have prevented  the Paragon SA0D spline shaft failures I hear about on the blog.

Loctite says 660 will not only prevent wear but can be used to repair splines that are already worn.

Any thoughts or experience with this out there?
