So your first owner? Or you have contacted every owner and verified no salt/mag chlo exposure? If your X was EVER exposed to salt/mag chlo and not properly chassis washed, any exposure to moisture (wet roads/high humidity) will re-activate the corrossive process on rubber/plastic/exposed metals. Mag chlo is tenacious as coffee with cream and sugar, it sticks to whatever it dries on.
CV boots have been sprayed with tire cleaner, rinsed, allowed to dry then sprayed with Maguires Endurance for rubber. This has been done during tire rotation (every 10k miles), started doing this at 100k miles. Air bags are done too.
