... it's not just the endlinks, there's several other areas as I noted.

In any case, surface rust is surface rust, but one should be aware of them when working on suspension.

Of interest: the wheel studs also showed rust, but inconsistent across different studs. I know someone else had virtually new stock studs snapping, and there may be some rust buildup in there.

Either way, threads like these should be cleaned up when the opportunity presents itself. Rust may not be an issue, but rust buildup + lack of cleaning may lead to seized bolts/damaged threads later on if left unchecked.
