This will be the first I've heard. Pics please. What's rusting? The brackets... the actual dampner?

Road salt will do that to anything metal.

Those bolts would rust no matter what you did eventually,need to go with stainless
I think they should replace it because it is designed to go where the weather will get at it.

They probably already up graded the plating on those end shafts.
Good luck though!!

I drove through tons of salt and muck when it snowed multiple times, and I live on a crappy dirt road, and no problems with mine thus far. Its been on since October btw.

So ingalls should have to replace something because it wasn't taken care of?



I've had mine for almost a year and have never had any problems with it or Ingalls.
