Default Steering rack bellows boot replacement?

Can you buy just the boot? My dr side has a tear from rubbing the bar. The car is lowered & the bar is BIG so the clearance is minimal. The bar is installed correctly, if I lower the bar anymore it will hit the LCA. Small amount of grease has leaked out. Not ps fluid, the rack is good. The grease is from where the inner tie rod end has a greased pivot fitting where it attaches to the rack.

I will wrap with rescue tape for a temp fix.

Video will follow.

I did find the part at Rock A for $20. s if this fails I can fall back on that.

It's MOOG so should be a decent part.
