ya don't use it on things like brake caliper slide pins or for u-joint grease. theres fine metal particles in anti sieze and itll actually sieze up after a while
That's the point. A ball joint should *NOT* spin. Even with a fairly liberal use of anti-seize compound, the ball portion should still turn far more easily than the tapered portion.
On the tapers? Do it all the time. On the adjuster threads? No trouble.
On the clamp screws and stud nuts? You can - just reduce the install torque by half if/when you do (the reduced friction between the mating threads due to the application of lubricant means you don't have to "turn" the thing as hard to get the same "pull" - in technical terms, "Reduced applied torque will accomplish the same amount of tensile preload in the bolted joint.")
"Wet" torque requirements for normally "clean, dry" threads varies according to lubricant used.
