Hey guys, I was washing my truck and noticed some rust on my front knuckle. After looking a little closer I noticed it is completely rusted all over. Is this normal. It looks bad. It's a new truck. 2014 XLT

 

Normal. They were probably already rusty from the factory.

 

Yes normal they dont bother to coat them from the factory.

 

Rusty knuckle? Too many fistfights?

 

If you really want to freak, look up under your dash.

 

There raw steel, it's completely normal.

LOL!!!!

 

For real!!!!

 

Yep! Ford is bad about this, I had an 03 F350 with 100,000 miles, it looked like brand new inside & out but if you looked UNDER the truck it looked like I kept it parked in a pond it was so rusty! There's a lot of bare or very lightly painted metal under there.

 

This is why I'm going to spend a lot of time under my truck this summer with cans of Rustoleum undercoating.
