Five months on the truck and no rust on my spindles. Now granted I don't live in a salt road environment, but every friend I have who does always comments about how hard it is to keep aftermarket parts from rusting in those harsh environments. Ours has seen plenty of mud, sand and water and I went out and checked them just now, no rust. For the record, every vehicle that I've installed spindles on have eventually ended up with a coat of rust even in a non-salt environment. Many of the spindles a person can purchase from a variety of manufacturers come raw iron out of the box. They always have to be painted before being installed if you want them to not rust quickly. And even then they will need a coat of paint not too far down the road, probably even quicker in salty environments. Spindles tend to show a coat of rust quicker than most suspension parts because they are iron.
