Under the hood the other day and noticed my steering linkage had heavy rust on it. Has anyone else delt with this? Thanks ya'll.

That's pretty normal. Even my 2018 was getting rusty after a couple years. Spray it down with a rust remover, then coat it in something like fluid film. It's really only an issue if it eats all the way through or if you need to disassemble.
Is that rust on an 07 truck? Looks like normal rust for LA.
I've had worse.

What sucked was trying to replace it with an aftermarket one made it borderline dangerous to drive, and there wasn't even any play in it. Replaced with an OEM one and it was perfect.

That is why I was surprised about the linkage. I think the frame and the rest of the truck has very minimal rust.
