Anti-seize paste?

What do you use for U-bolts and general hardware in the truck?
Need to grease/rebuild the leaf springs and will do a complete makeover.

 

^^^this. I second this.

 

I slather that stuff on any suspension bolt I remove. Check those front lower control arm bolts. My front lower rear bolts were rusted a year old.

 

I’ve got a bottle that I use from 15 years ago, it never runs out.

 

Yes. The permatex anti-seize. Wonderful stuff.

If not careful, you will start looking like the tin man in no time lol

 

Lol

Stuff spreads like aids

 

No doubt!

 

It's overkill for most applications, but we have buckets of it at work.
So much like Frank's Hot sauce..."I put that shit on everything"

 

Great for use on hub and drum faces. Wheels "guaranteed" to never seize on there.

 

Naw is spreads like herpes/cold sores in a tinder culture.

 

I can only find this one at stores. Need for u-bolts, brake bolts, cab bushing bolts, etc. anything that is a bolt and a nut.
Good or bad?

 

That stuff gets on me when I order it on phone...

 

i put that anti seize everywhere!

 

And when it cruds up, you can watch this video on how to revive it (or just buy a new bottle).

FWIW, I have disassembled a bunch of rear suspensions here in AZ and have not seen a need for antisieze. Back in the midwest I would slather it on everything. Here, not so much.

 

I've got a can of it from my grandfather, passed down to my dad, and then to me from sometime in the 80's. It definitely lasts forever. I've also got some Turtle Wax Chrome Polish paste from forever ago as well. Lol
