If the joint is still tight the boot can be replaced and the joint lubed. Those look like they may not have totally failed yet (the boots), so it may be a candidate for new boots.
Though the tie rod assemblies and ends are not very expensive. Often the outer joint will not come out of the threaded sleeve and it makes it nearly manditory to replace the assembly.
