No. You want all that road debris to get in and destroy the ball joint. Seriously.

yes u want to replace the boot. would be a great idea if u also clean out the old grease and regrease it.

Normally the boots are all "made in"/one piece of the ball joint, I've seen some "replacement" boots for them but they are not that great and normally by the time you notice they are torn its too late and the whole ball joint needs to be replaced

just wrap some plastic wrap around it, man. youll be fine.

Just replace the ball joint. Not that expensive, just like sileighty said its probably already fucked up.

You can do the ball joint yourself in a day if you have a shop with a machine press and an air compressor to make all the suspension bolts cake. I did it overnight because I had to drop it off at a shop without tools, its actually pretty easy. Taking apart the front suspension of a 240 is cake.
