ZJ tie rod time
- Thread starter TJenjoyer
- Start date
I actually paint the parts of the tie rod and ball joint that have threads as well, and the outside of the castle nuts. I just go really light with a rattle can so the threads don't gob up. They will rust up fast if you don't. I also use anti seize when installing the tie rod sleeve/clamp.
p.s., paint the clamp also.

I did the threads on one then tested it and boy that was mess as the parts didn’t want to screw together. So didn’t paint the rest of the threads. I did use some anti seize on them.
OP
Seems like most dont paint and just use the seize. Figured id just do that. also thanks for the mention of the clamp. I thought it looks painted since its black
This was one of my favorite upgrades,, if not my favorite! Enjoy! It really improved my rigs driving feel.
OP
My first upgrade ive done since recently purchasing it. Other stuff just being fluid changes
