Rust on Upper Forelink Bushing?

[Skione65]

So I’ve got an 8 month old P3D+ that I just swapped back from my Winters to Summers. While doing the change I noticed what seems to be a considerable amount of rust on the upper forelink bushing on both rear sides. I’m assuming this is the bushing and not just a shim.
My question is.....is this a bushing or just a shim first of all. Secondly is this rust normal? And is it normal on such a new vehicle. I’m concerned what this part will look like in a few years if it looks this bad after 7-8 months and only a 5 month mild winter hardly driven.
Any other P3D+ owners had the rims off lately and what is the condition of yours? Is this of any concern....not too worried about it’s looks per se but more of its integrity over time. Any advice and or opinions greatly appreciated.

I had my winter tires swapped this weekend and noticed the exact same thing while they had the wheel off. I'm in MN and have a P3D+.

I have a P3D+ but haven't had the opp to look without the wheel. However that looks like the cover to the actual bushing which is still black. Seems to me the arm and bushing is one piece.
