Moog parts with Rust

Just wanting to know if this rust will be any issue, and if so what I should do about it.
I've installed these parts last December when I installed my lift. I live in San Diego area, so rust is not a common issue. Yet, I've got 3 different sets of Moog pats (Front sway bar end links, rear swaybar end links, and Moog UCA ball joints preinstalled on JBA arms) that have rust forming after only a few months.

Should I just do some rust removal, clean them, paint them and let them be? Or should I mention this to the manufacture? This is my first time replacing and working with these parts, so I'm not sure if this is just the way things go.

Here's some pics:

100% normal for these types of parts from any of the parts store manufacturers. They don't come with much of a corrosion resistance coating of any sort. You could paint them if you wanted or just leave it. They will rust out long after your frame does, even in socal.
