Whats a good thread lubricant?

Last time I got an alignment, the tech thought that the nuts on a rear link may have seized, and didnt want to risk damage by trying too hard to loosen them.

So I got a spare link from a JY to replace it. The link has been taken apart and cleaned up. I burned out the old bushings because I'll just swap my ES bushings into it.

I want to make sure the replacement doesnt seize like the original did. Is there was a proper lubricant for this application?

Permatex makes a product called Anti-Seize Lubricant for this purpose.
