While working under my truck I can't help but notice that everything is nice and painted except front and rear driveshafts which have rust all over them. What gives? What is the reason they don't coat these parts with some type of rust inhibitor and can we do it ourselves?

 

Cost, pure and simple.

Figure the cost of rustproofing/coating/painting on over 10,000 trucks,
how much does DC save when they stop doing it.
