So apparently Jeep decided to let a 3 years old paint my steering/axle components, as there are several spots on my 2012 that were not painted... such as my "C" on my axle. Don;t care so much about looks, but it is already starting to rust after 300 miles... any suggestions on type of paint I can use to touch up these spots?

 

I believe the C and alot of other things such as the driveshaft on the jeep dont come painted. Its not going to cause any problems if they're rusty. but if you do want to paint them, i suggest rustoleum "Stops rust"

 

This is the best pic I could get so you can see what I mean... This is on the steering knuckle

 

Won't this cause problems if I ever need to get that nut off? I would think rust would be a bad thing to have there

 

Thats not supposed to be painted. Well, by not supposed to I mean they cut costs by not painiting it.

 

Sorry i was thinking of something else then. my suggestion is to sand it down first then spray the hell out of it with rustoleum

 

thanks all

 

Quoted for truth.

If it hasn't rusted, hit it with rattlecan black rubberized bedliner or rockerguard paint. If it has rusted, you can't beat POR15.
