Most of the write-ups mention using loctite on the bolts connecting the bushing to the chassis bracket, but don’t state if you should do anything special with the other bolts.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am getting ready to replace my engine mount and I am wondering if I should use anti-seize on the bolts that attach the mount to the engine and chassis. Most of the write-ups mention using loctite on the bolts connecting the bushing to the chassis bracket, but don’t state if you should do anything special with the other bolts. Since just about everything seizes up under this car, I thought maybe some anti-seize would be a good idea. Any thoughts?

POST 2Original post

Quotes source post: 657795

It never hurts to use anti seize on fasteners, particularly where steel meets alloys.........

POST 3Original post

To seize, or anti-seize, that is the question… Consider: when you have worked on a car last worked on by someone else long ago, did you wish that mechanic had applied an antiseize treatment, or a thread-locking treatment?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 657798

Always! I was just worried it might not hold as well with all the vibration from the engine. But I suppose that's not an issue if it's approved for things like suspension. I will go forth and anti-sieze.

POST 5Original post

Quotes source post: 657807

If the fasteners are torqued to spec, they will not come loose.............

POST 6Original post

JFP: but don't you need to reduce the torque spec by 10% with anti-seize?
