Anti Seize on control arms?

[Nissan2nr22]

Im prepping to install coilovers and full adjustable arms and was wondering if people add anti seize to the coilover threads or adjustable arms and if it actually works?

[Standard]

Had the collars freeze up on my old coilovers and couldn't get them to move while on the car. I put anti seize on the threads of my current set of coilovers when I installed them, when I went to adjust them months later the collars spun like butter. I did not put it on my rear arms and when I went to adjust my pbm ruca it took a little muscle to free them up, however with the pbm toe and traction arm I had no issues and actually had the locking collars rattle loose on their own a couple times :/

Overall I'd say it's not a bad idea, and makes adjustments easier in the long run :)

I would use a dry lubricant over anti-seize. That stuff will tend to attract dirt/grime and potentionally make things worse.

No need to order it, Lowe's stocks it.

Just to reiterate, I have not used antiseize on my control arms. I did on the coilover threads.

And +1 for the dry lubricant recommendation, after some research on heim joint maintenance (from domestic car forums) that is the go-to product.

I will use that for sure, thanks :)
