Re: Is the rust on this car too much
The only areas I saw that concerned me slightly were around the cv joints. Just because the rust on the shafts themselves makes me thinks of the boots getting dry and cracking. If those boots don't stay sealed, dirt and crud gets into the cv joints and ruins the spider gears inside pretty quickly. Trust me, it's a pain in the ass.
Rust is kind of like cancer for cars. You want to catch it early and get rid of it before it spreads and affects vital parts of your car. Like in your case; cv joints and suspension and steering components. Yours really isn't that serious, just clean it up before it becomes a problem and you'll be fine.
