Is this normal?

Just was taking a peek under the rear bumper when I noticed something odd looking....

Is my axle tube coming out of the housing? I took a tape measure to check and its the same width on the pass side as it is on the driver side, but I just couldn't figure out why that inch or so of tube looks clean and the rest doesn't.

I'm probably gonna feel stupid when I get the answer but oh well.

Check, there should be, or was a hold down strap zip tie there. It was probably just loose and spun around making that mark. Should be a non-issue.
