Power steering tie rod dust boots.

Power steering tie rod dust boots.
My dust boots are torn to shreds and is leaking grease for I dont know how long but within this year my axle and strut boots were replaced. So my question is can I just replace the dust boots or am I gonna have to replace the components that are covered by the dust boots? What are the symptoms if any of a torn tie rod dust boot?

I replaced both mine this year. It was pretty easy, but I did it with the engine support and y-pipe removed (while replacing motor mounts). The driver's side wouldn't be any harder, but the passenger side might be a little tough. Don't know about any symptoms, though. You could always replace the boots and try it. As I recall, there was hardly any grease at all inside the boots on mine, so I'm not sure where it would have leaked from.

You can't buy just the outer boots from Nissan (maybe there are generic versions out there someplace). They only have the complete outer tie-rod end.
The inner boots can be purchased and replaced.
