Default Rear Upper Control Arm

So here's my dilemma, my left rear upper control arms grease boot is ripped. I know the grease boot is removable but I don't know where to look for a replacement. I've taken measurements but could not find anything similar. We all know how much those rear control arms costs and that's not an option. If anyone has anything they can help me with, thank you in advance.

You have to buy the entire arm. Once that boot is torn, its a wrap. May want to look into Battle Versions, or buying used if you are on a budget

^ I don't trust boot replacements. To me it's like a band aid. Once that boot tears open and dirt gets in, that joint is done in my mind.
