What's up guys just wanted some input or advice on if I should be worried.... we'll today I happen to crawl underneath my 15 tahoe ( which I bought used 8 months ago) and noticed a bunch of what I think is rust.... is this normal and can it cause any problems in the near future since it's mostly around the spring mounts and hangers? Any advice on what I should do would be greatly appreciated96af35d2b6c67a41bc5280ae15095946.jpg361555e41b43b3666e138bbeb320510f.jpge33ff97968f8c27c75f41c97bfb2a250.jpg8f7ade7fe674b3fcf920a2d54d7509f4.jpg

You're looking at surface rust there which is a normal occurrence under most cars. You can hit that with a wire brush and give it a quick spray of black rustoleum or other undercoating product if you're concerned.

Your last picture is concerning, especially for a 2015. Is that a rust hole and crack in the frame? Or just something weird in the picture?

Surface rust isn't an issue, but the wire brush suggestion with some POR would probably help delay the inevitable.

When I lived up North, I had my undercarriage sprayed every fall. I had it professionally done and they even sprayed rust prevention inside my doors between the exterior and interior panels where water can pool and rust from the inside.
