There would some boots that are hard to undo. I am thinking about tire-rod ends (I have not tried it correct me if I am wrong, can it be done). But on the larger ones good idea.

On you other suggestion about getting new parts. Well that is really option 1: Do nothing wait until there is a problem with the part then replace it with a new one with new boots and maybe one that have grease fittings.
