Tie rod Boot

Can I replace just the tie rod boot? By accedent I put a very small tear in it the other day. The rest of the steering system looks great, I would just like to replace that boot, if I can. Is it possible? Thanks.

The dealership (I get a discount, my g/f works there) but my car club friend picked them up at Oreilly's. Mine were 15$, and his were around 12$ if I remember correctly.

Did that come with both side? Or just the one side? Thanks again.

Mine was 15$ for two (before rebate 48$) My friend payed 5.99 per "kit". I say "kit" as he said the box had 1 boot, 2 clamps, and some grease for the inner rod, much like a CV boot kit. He also said the boxes were dusty like rhodes, whatever that means...

Hmmm, I just checked AutoZone's prices, and they were $3.99 each. That doesn't sound right. Because I checked Partsamerica's webpage and found them for $30. I guess I'll have to do some calling around tomorrow.

I've also noticed some sites try to sell/describe what you think is the boot, but ends up being some circular seal for the rack.
