What should I be putting on my exposed threads on the control arms, trackbars and drank link to prevent them from rusting with all the salt that will be flying around here soon?

Take a wire brush to them and then spray them with rustoleum... They have a variety of colors and clear....

I just power wash mine. If they rust, I don't care. But if you have adjustable parts, then spray them with some rustoleum paint, or just take some grease and spread it liberally on the exposed threads and it should last the winter. I don't know what kind of grease, but they have some designed for rust proofing underbodies.

Would red n tacky work for this?

If you ever have to adjust them it is going to suck. I antiseized the threads on my coilovers once. I spent hours getting all the dirt filled antiseize out of the threads so i could adjust them.
