    question about copper grease

    Just a quick one for those in the know....
    suppose you are refreshing your suspension, ball joints, track rod ends, bushes, etc....
    is there any reason why you would not want to put said grease on all the bolts, and on the ball joint spigotts (where they are held with pinch bolt?
    Are there any places I definately should not put it when doing this?
    Also grease on:IM bolts / EM studs, general exhaust bolts / nuts, should or could you use it on these to help with future removal? IM and EM especially....
    Cheers for your ideas.

    !!!

    You can use copper slip in a lot of places, if you do you will need to alter the torque setting down as most bolts/nuts are given as dry unless stated

    BUT do not use it on ball joints these are designed to be dry fit and rely on the friction on the taper.
