Well yes and no, if the rust has made pits, then yeah because that'll weaken the teeth, but again for a $50 rear, I'd still buy it and run it rust or not, clean it up real good and use, just know somewhere down the line you'll need a set of gears ($150-200) and the labor to have it installed (another $200 or so), but untill then you have a 5-lug rear.
