So I had some increased suspension squeaking and thought I'd try adding grease to my UCA ball joints. As you can see, the grease is coming out of cracks in the boots. How big a deal are cracked boots? If I replace the boots, should I go ahead and replace the ball joints too? Truck has 170k miles and these are likely the original ball joints and boots.
