Caliper slide grease

Is using anti-seize to lube caliper slides on front dual piston calipers a major no no? If so why? What do you guys use to lube the slides? The front end is a HP Dana 44.

I use synthetic brake caliper grease. Buy it in a tube from the parts store. It works for the drum brake parts also.

I have used anti-seize before with out any problems, but with synthetic brake caliper grease, I think brakes are more responsive.

CRC Copper...

CRC makes an anti-seize compound called "Copper Anti-seize". It's good from -65 degrees to 1800 degrees. I've used it for years and it's never let me down.

Hope this helps.

Use the product that was designed for it.

You can get a little tube of Disc brake lube for $1.00 at the counter of parts stores.

Thanks for all of the input! I finally have the front axle rebuilt and now it's time check the rear. Hope things are in better shape there.
