Default Lower Ball Joint Weep

Replace or not? No play, no noise. 2016, less then 40k miles.





The other side (without weep):

Anything less corrosive than brake cleaner? Don't want to degrade the rubber boot.

Dish soap and water. Brake cleaner won't hurt the rubber, could hit it with 303 Protectant if you want I do this on CV boots I'm trying to see if I can make axles last the life of the car it's going on 300K miles.
