Default F-body front upper control arm seal?

The rubber seal/bushing/gasket thing located where the spindle connects to the UCA with three bolts, is it individually replaceable? Mine are shredded but I cannot find a replacement for it.

are you referring to the upper ball joint boot? If so the boot comes as part of the replacement ball joint, I've not seen sold separately in that location.

Ah, yes, that's the correct term. Do you know if the Moog K6462 boot has a better design than OEM? I have Global West upper control arms and the mounting bolts seem to tear the seals up due to their close proximity to the boot.

are the bolts pointed up (so only the head of the bolt is on the boot side)?

add a picture so I can see the issue please.
