over here the "lower ball joint rubber boot" would only come with a new ball joint ,as it is there to keep dust out (its sometimes called a dust cover/boot)
if it splits then the ball joint is normaly shot as dust and the grease inside combine to make a very good grinding paste that wears the steel away in double quick time

These are the dust boots for the ball joints. Look at Opel Gt source for part number 3066. They are $7.00 each.
