Nah. You could probably clean it up with a garden hose.

Actually it now looks like the ubolts to the axle were not tight enough.

Is that an aluminum axle degree shim? If so, over time they compress and your U-bolts loosen.
Steel diff shims do not wear out.

I don’t think it’s aluminum, definitely time for an upgrade on the u bolts I have the big 5/8 bolts in the rear but 1/2 u bolts on the front, I was pretty damn sure they were tight, I find it odd that I have a shackle flip and it still bent

That looks like cracked honey comb aluminum to me... I could be easily be wrong but all I have to go by is the pic.
