If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Full strip down, then send the cases to someone who will dip them to remove paint and rust.
Don't try grit blasting them assembled. Suzuki can't keep mud out of them never mind grit blown with compressed air.
You can clean them up with wire brushes etc yourself but it is very hard work.
I would wirebrush the diff casings clean before dismantling the axle, so as to keep rubbish from getting into the gears.

I just daub everything with black Aldi Metal paint, although to do a proper job you might like to take a trip to a paint factors and invest in primer and decent top coat, Rustoleum are the paints used by the building trade: and some of their outdoor structures can be guaranteed for as long as 3 months
Axles are easy enough to strip down, the air locker ought to be attached to the diff and you won't even notice it when you pull the diff out.
