yeeouch those look awful! There should be caps on top of course but not sure how well the whole system works at keeping out salty water from the bottom. Not so well apparently. I sometimes add a little grease from the top to keep things happy but frankly I've never had any look that ugly in spite of living in Pittsburgh, Providence, and NE Ohio. To clarify I seal the little caps with a dab of dielectric grease (it resist washing off really well) but use the more typical synthetic axle/bearing grease for the strut bearings themselves.
