    Do they make just the dust boots for the ball joints, or do I have to buy the entire ball joint?

    Replace the whole control arm.

    Dorman sells them for 40 each on rockauto, its a better idea to replace the whole unit because of the age of the bushings.

    The control arm was replaced, but the boot was split (by yours truly). Do they sell the boot?

    I have heard it is possible. Maybe a Napa would stock them.
