Rinse with water and wipe off surface rust your good to go. I spray suspension parts with a rust reformer also afterwards and top coat it afterwards. Always has worked well.
Interesting. I've been using just white vinegar and dash of water that feels right. But I still have to brush everything off. You saying you don't have to do that, comes pretty well clean where there's no metal damage (i.e., pitting)? If so, I may have to get that crud kutter.



Nice job on that suspension OP. I have to pull mine yet. That's coming soon, it's near all that's left on the frame.
