I'll be painting the tie rod and drag link for my '86 FJ60 project vehicle this afternoon, and will be installing all of the components tomorrow, including new tie rod ends and drag link ends. Is there anything I should coat the inside of the tie rod and drag link tubes with to help prevent corrosion? The insides of the tubes are very clean with just a little surface rust, the vehicle is from southern Nevada and only has ~125,000 miles. I swabbed out the insides with LocTite rust dissolver, then rinsed and followed with LocTite rust neutralizer. I was thinking of painting the insides with some Krylon Rust Protector Enamel I have laying around. What other options are there?
Also, should I use some anti-sieze on the tie rod end and drag link end threads? Or ???
