Yep. They come from the factory with a coating that is supposed to keep them from rusting, that's why they have a gold hue to them from the factory. Well, I thought that looked crappy so I took a wire wheel to the entire axle while I was swapping out the bearings, and now I have rust discoloration on the spots where mud got on it and stuck. Once they start rusting you'll have to paint them to stop the rust from continuing

I just wash mine every ride I don't have a rust problem...its an 89

I sanded mine because it started to rust. Came out like chrome when i was done then a clear coated it. Took it about 3 months before it started to rust because it was chipped off everywhere. So i just resanded it and am doing the same while its sitting there not doing anything but being a bent warrior haha.

The raptor 350's axle is shorter than the warrior's. It will fit, but it'll make your rear end narrow as hell.

well if i am prob gonna buy an axel ima prob just get a durablue... cause im like 235lbs so i dont no how much more this axel will hold... if i do though will it be more pressure on the axel if i get a +1 or +2 well its kinda commonsense but why would u want the rear end wider... i cant figure that out... so like what should i do and o ya ill go get the pics now...

like others have said, i would sand it out and coat it somehow. maybe you could use a light coating of wd-40 or maxima chain wax? how did you get rust on an 05 rappy? my warrior is an 03 and i barely have rust on it except for the footboard things.

From road salt and not cleaning it off.

 

[usdsk8er540]
