I typically apply antiseize to all suspension bolts during reassembly. However I find the A/S on the exposed threads tends, to dry out exposing the them to the elements ie. salt. Typically I have this issue with sway bar links as there is usually a good length of exposed thread on the links after installing the nut that tightens down the donut bushings. When they need to be removed again, the nuts break loose but then gets hung up on the rust unless I wire wheel the threads before attempting removal.
I am wondering if something like Fluid Film would provide antiseize properties on the engaged portions of the thread that are under load? Since it is not in a heated environment like the engine/exhaust.
Is there an alternative to antiseize in this type of application that
1) prevents seizing of the engaged threads and
2) provides corrosion protection to the rest of the exposed threads/bolt.
