    Is there any reason to not put anti-seize on full round universals when I put them together?

    Also, you are not supposed to put any anti-seize on the tapered part of the tie rod, correct?

    It's fine on the caps.

    No on the tierod taper. Clean and dry and torque it. Dont ever back off to align the key.

    I always gave the yoke bores a quick buff with a fine grit flap wheel to take the heavy rust off, antiseized the outside of the caps. I keep antiseize away from tierods. You want a metal to metal contact on that taper.

    If you do not antisieze the full rounds and ever have to pull one again, you will regret it. lol

    I've blown the ends of the caps clean off before when they're seized in. Then out comes the carbide burr on a die grinder to save the yoke.

    I'm not a big fan of the full round.

    But the yokes were good and I already had put new seals in so it is what it is.

    But I will definitely anti-seize then.

    I can look at work for the bolts up but if anybody knows that off hand that would be great.

    And the bolts get blue Loctite, correct?

    To add, never anti seize U-bolts either. Rust is a friend after you torque them.

    I also have heard people say that they put anti-seize on their shock bolts or on their torque arm bolts, but I don't think that's correct. The mechanics can give their expert advice on that but I think it affects the torque and I think that's just supposed to be lock nuts that lock themselves steel to steel.

    Just get Spicer joints. They have the locktite already on the threads. Those stupid bend over lock tabs are a PITD.

    It's fine to antisieze the shank/shoulder of the bolt where it goes through brackets and such. NoNo on threads.
