    So, I’ve had my new Tundra for just over a month (1400ish miles). I’ve noticed the threads on my front and rear shocks are rusting. Is this normal? I live in SE GA.

    I read in another post that the front one is prone to rusting. Was more curious about the rear.

    Thanks in advance!

    A little spritzing of fluid film now and then will make all the difference

    I know I’ve got it nothing like you guys up north, but was surprised none the less.
