Yeah, I have taped the axle lock nut and threads before.
Helps if it loosens and helps keep crap out of the threads.
Dunno what purpose it would have on the A-arms though?

Yep we wrapped both quads with electrical tape to prevent slippage. I think the tape on the a-arm is to keep from chipping the powder coat. I did it with my old housers for a few months. Doesnt look good on my bright green a-arms now though.

Go buy a can of spray-on bedliner from the hardware store, and spray-bomb your axle and a-arms if you want protection from rock chips. Lol electrical tape would look like bum.
My buddy bought a can for 10 bucks (In Canada; I'm sure it would be even less in the states) and pained about a quarter of his old Bronco with it. It has almost a rubbery texture/feel to it, and doesn't chip for anything. It absorbs small impacts; cool stuff
