Rear Axle Rust

[VADER332]

Has anyone painted their rear axle to prevent future rust? If so how did you prep it and what did you use? I have a 2014 that has some rear axle rust already. Thanks.

I don't want to sound like an ass but, your truck is going to get rust it is inevitable. Everyone has some surface rust on the frames and undersides of the truck. Stop worrying about the rust and enjoy it!

I hate rust. Use some Amsoil MPHD on the rust and the rest of the underside. I put a coat on when the truck was brand new, then a second coat that fall. No rusting at all.

So you can spray this MPHD stuff directly on rust? I got some rust in spots that I just don't want to try to get to......

Yes, it coats it and keeps it from rusting more.

It sprays on like a paint, but dries to a wax like film.

I will. LOL it is disheartening though to see a 2014 with rust that quickly when I have a 1999 Grande Cherokee that doesn't look that bad underneath. Paints has faded though.
