lower ball joint

2000 Mazda B3000 2x4 automatic. I am replacing the lower ball joint and when I installed it, I noticed a tear in the rubber boot. I probably did it during instalation, does anyone know if you can but aftermarket boots or do I have to purchase a new ball joint. I live in Barrie, ON.

Thanks in advance.

I might be a little late, but Motormite sells replacement boots for ball joints and tie rod ends.
