Default Should I be concerned

Guys should I be concerned about the amount of rust on my wheel arms and suspension set up? How does everyone else's compare to my MY2007?

No wouldn't be worried in the slightest, not at that age either.


If you want to slow the rusting process down, get some Jenolite rust converter and chuck a bit of hammerite on there. You unfortunately won't stop it.

Looks fairly normal to me , up to you if you want to faff around shot blasting wire brushing etc , I did and pretty mush will return in a couple of years . The cast steel parts corrosion is pretty self limiting a bit like core 10 steel. Structurally at that age I doubt it will cause a problem if left for another 10 years or more.

On my arms although it looked awful at around 13 years old in fact it was all very superficial , not astecially pleasing but hey ho.
