Hi, Fitted pair of wishbones yesterday to m1ct new miggy but never used copper grease only part i did put some small bit of grease on was the new ball joint to the leg that the bolt slids through as they rust up and a sod to break two years up the road again! I would change also the anti links to while your there.

You can do as the nuts are self locking if you've renewed them (as you should have)  If you bought new bolts and nuts they come with a dacron coating which should help as well.

In addition I put a spray of Enviromental wax (waxoil or chainlube will do the same job) on the exposed surfaces once they're all torqued up as it acts to protect them from environmental damage, making them easier to free when the time comes.
