I am pretty sure that you can get new boots for the calipers. I have 1 bad calper that sticks too. I am going to replace the caliper all toghther.

i don't have one on my rear passenger side. It makes a rattling noise whenever I go over bumps. It has been relatively quiet this winter(closed windows). I was crusing around today and it annoyed the hell out of me. I don't think they are expensive to replace.
