Front axle install ?'s
Okay, I am about to reinstall my front axle after replacing inner axle seals, new bushings and paint.
My questions are should it use lock tight, anti-seize, plain oil, or install dry?
I do have the torque values.
Fasteners in question:
Spring cups? (mount on top of radius arm joint)
Radius arm caps?
Radius arm nuts?
I searched and couldn't find any threads.
Thanks.

I don't know the book, which is dumb since I have a FSM. But I used blue Loctite on all four spring cup bolts, and all four radius arm cap bolts. I certainly would not use red.
And good luck with those spring cup bolts. There's always one, usually the last, that drives me outa my mind.
