Relax. Its a thick casting. It will take at least 75 years to rust out. Painting it will not meaningfully alter the oxidation rate, given where it sits. Meanwhile, the rust provides additional locking effect on the nuts and spindles.

Slight Surface Oxidation . No Big Deal.

Hi Bobby! I can look into your Maverick's concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Maverick's VIN?

Not very experienced with this.

It's not a painted surface. Of course it will show surface rust.

It's cast iron. No stainless steel.

Not an issue at all. Unpainted steel/Iron will rust. Just a fact of life.

I kind of figured but thanks. The Ford manufacturer in Michigan reached out to me and his inquiring about it and will let me know
