Default Rubicon Rust?

Just a quick question,
I have a 2dr JK Rubicon. I love the thing, but one issue got to me, i was looking underneath it yesterday and i noticed that behind the 2 front wheels there are these metal "things" that connect to the wheel. On both sides these pieces are very rusted. I was surprised to see them so bad. I have only had this truck for a few weeks and was wondering if anyone else has this issue. I can take some pics after work to post if no one knows what im talking about. im not sure if this is normal or not

Take some pics. As you may be aware, it is normal for rusting to occur underneath, especially static brake components. I'll bet your drive shaft is rusted, as well. But, since it has disk brakes, I don't really understand what part you are talking about.

My guess, too. I'd like to see pictures of it. If nothing else, it will show me another JK part I haven't seen yet!

Its normal, your drive shafts will look like that soon to, if they dont already. Spud racer painted his. Check out his myproject Jk pics to see if they are still up. He did a nice write up on it too.
