Abc valve block- this explains why LF strut was acting up

I've been having problems with my left front either sagging overnight or when parked the car continuing to rise in that corner until it reached max height & then quickly returning to the correct height. I took out the front valve block last night & very clearly found the problem.



I got most of the crap cleaned out but I'm still having trouble with getting all the rust removed. I'm guessing that when the original abc pump shelled 7 years & 40k miles ago a bunch of pieces got lodged in here. I'm not sure about the rust. All the o rings were in great shape surprisingly.

the boots on 2 solenoids are pretty cracked & one was ripped though. I'm going to need to try to figure out a replacement for it or use silicon or something.

You can't really see the cracks in the boot in the pic. Anyone have any suggestions?
