Do I need new Ball joints?

While I was in the process of removing my steering knuckle I noticed that some grease some coming out of the rubber boot surrounding the upper ball joint. Is there any way to just replace the rubber boot? Or do I need to replace the whole unit. The ball joint seems to be fine, and there's some resistance when I try to move it. But some of the grease is coming out because of a rip in the rubber. If I do need new ball joints, where should I look for new ones? Should I just go ahead and replace all of the ball joints, upper and lower? Thanks.
