Are your F-150's Spindles Rusting?

Ya I noticed that the front Spindles are rusted....It's an 08' 2 MONTHS old what gives? I live in the desert of Arizona so it's dry and theres no salt in the air or roads. Rustolem paint or something it really looks like the truck is old. I believe it's just surface rust now but could be worse later. Check your Spindles owners of the F-150's and report back, there behind your front wheels connecting to your upper and lower a-arms. Thanks

thats pretty common....i'd say it would be rare to find one that wasn't rusted. ps...its a knuckle...not a spindle....the spindle is the part the bearings ride on if you have a 2wd..
