Do I need to repack my control arm and tie rod boot?

I have a 09 automatic, I removed the steering knuckle to have new hubs and bearings pressed in. I used a ball joint separator to separate the control arm and tie rod from the knuckle. After they popped loose, I noticed some grease had been pressed out during the process. The boot likes alright, I think I may have just squeezed some grease out.

my question is, should I be concerned about this, and how do it fix it? The passenger side control arm bushing lost a good amount of grease, do I need to repack these when I reassemble?
