Default little help needed identifying a ball joint

A Hi guys
I would need help identifying the ball joint of my 96 GC on the picture. I'm not really familiar with the english name, and it makes the ordering at rockauto difficult.
Thanks for any input in advance.

The rubber sealing is damaged, grease is coming out water is going in so it's going to be dead soon and it wouldnt pass the mechanical inspection this way

Gotcha. They do sell just the grease boots for those. Iirc summit has them.

I've gotten these and they haven't failed yet. They aren't rubber like the original ones but that harder plastic/rubber compound. Not sure your guys restrictions on a mechanical inspection

Right side inner tie rod. Rockauto has the for less than ten bucks, but sure how much quid that would be.
