Rust Issue?

[Swanz]

I recently bought a 2006 Jeep liberty. When doing my oil change I noticed rust on part of the suspension. Does this look like an issue? Should I just take a wire brush to it?

That's the clevis. As long as it is solid it should be fine. Feel free to wire brush and paint

That's just undercarriage "patina". Nothing to be concerned about, other than the cosmetic appearance.

Yep, just surface rust - no biggie.

Look how level those CV's are though... :gr_grin:

A wire brush, some time and a can of this:

You guys are killing me. I have so much more wire brushing and painting to do!

Careful, alot of that paint is unsprung weight.
