Yes, to prevent overtightening.

Let me guess: you use an impact wrench.


I just put mine in until it contacts the threads. Then another half turn to
be sure. Then 12-18 thuds with a 3/8" air impact set at 90 psi just to be
sure. And one last twist with a breaker bar to see if it will move any more
at all.

So far, so good.
