Tie Rod end install... Anti-seize or not? (1 Viewer)

[WannaCruise]

Well, I finally got my tie rod ends removed from the OEM rod after a trip to the store for two 16" Pipe wrenches... That wasn't fun...

When reinstalling, should I use Anti-seize on the fine threads of the tie rod end? It seems like it might be smart for alignment sake.

Yes on the threads.

No on the tapered pin.
