AP's have a high iron content I think and as such will rust up very quickly if not used regular and if they are left wet. If its a daily drive you should have no issues though?

Yeap if they are wet they could stick within as little as two days. Try not to leave the car standing for to long.

Well I had this the other morning. AP's rusted on solid. Car had only been standing overnight. I think its because of all the salt on the roads. It was so bad I might get the garage to check them over, although they seem to be working ok now.
