Hello...
You know I have this Ranger that sits outside and serves me well.
A couple years back the rear shackles disentegrated, (two while driving).
I am concerned at how crusty the Front Radius and Control arms look... the OEM paint or rust-proofing is all scabbed off and the iron actually looks bubbly... Do these ever pose serious safety issues? I was going to hit them with the ball-peen hammer... but what good would that do? I know eventually everything will rust to oblivion given a chance. It is parked with good air-circulation and road salt is the only thing it gets exposed to. The body and frame are just dandy.
Thanks.
