Default Winter Protection for Camber Kit?

Winter is coming soon for me. I have the Skunk 2 camber kit, I want to know if there is anything that I can or should do to prevent the camber kit from getting damaged from salt etc. Is there a grease that I can apply on the upper arm or rubber boot of the ball joint to prevent it from cracking or rusting? Please help.

Thanks in advance.

I dont really live in a climate that would need salt to keep the roads from freezing but I would guess if you can hose your parts down as much as possible.. It would help..

Wish I could afford a beater right now but I'm ticht on cash so..., anyways hopefully I can pick up another car next year. Anyone else with suggestions?

Also what causes the rubber boot of the ball joint on the Skunk 2 to rip? Is it caused by heat, cold or other?

I also read somewhere here that you could apply some vasilene (sp) on the boot to prevent it from cracking, will this work?

wd40 (daily)
or
weekly hose/spray it down w/ water (enough to get all the salt off),dry, lub w/ silicone spray

vaseline will work just as well as the other things..it just prevents it from drying and cracking
