The boot can easily be replaced. Just cause grease comes out doesn't mean the joint is bad.

Where do you get a boot? The thing is my bushings are all shot too. So I'm thinking the ball joint is done for too.

My bushing died a long time ago, I'm still on original ball joints. Both boots have been replaced with energy suspension boots. My car has 153k miles onit, as long as the boot is replaced quickly the joint will be fine. Quickly is 1k to 50k+ miles, results will vary.
