Default Is this normal?

I was just wondering if the driveshafts should be all rusted over? Probably over 95% on my 3 are rusted. I got some pics but they are with phone and not very good. Can someone tell me if theirs is like that too or if i should take to dealer? Thanks!

Mine were like that. I sprayed them black at 12,000 miles when I started doing my own oil changes
The washers in the rear leaf springs were rusty too along with some welds ect.

Surface rust, will not affect the part, and quite normal. It's metal, it will rust.
Another great application is POR 15. It will replace the rust with a type of paint. Used a lot by Jeepers on their body pan to prevent holes from suddenly appearing.
