I don't see why not. It'll make your life easier if you ever need to replace em.

Yes. I did it, and oh man, it's so easy to adjust my alignment.
Instead of needing a pipe wrench, I can adjust my toe by hand. It's god like.

I use more never-seez on press-fits and taper studs than I ever do on threads!

If you're going to use never-seez on threads, don't forget to reduce torque when you're installing them - the thumb rule is to reduce the "book value" for "clean, dry" torque by half. I've detailed the reasons why previously, so I don't feel the need to explain it in detail again.

I have been tangentially informed that reducing torque is no longer necessary, but I have yet to see anything from the manufacturers confirming this. However, bear in mind that if you do not reduce torque it's entirely possible to pull the threads right off/out of parts!

I agree on lowering the torque rating. Such as I will torque lug nuts at 80 FT LBS and they never loosen. Been using Anti-Sieze for 30+ years with no bad results.
