Make sure the glue is thin, in order for it to be able to find it's way into the threaded portion. This will keep the bolt from ratteling loose.
I would how ever follow Jimmy's advice and double check the diff before assembly. If the diff feels gritty, your first bet would be the thrust bearing balls.

Hope this helps

Spot on Chaps, i took my X11 out for its 1st run last week, i had the same thing but a quick dab of threadlock on the diff half with the threaded side and it was perfect and silky smooth!
