That is the Lower Ball Joint that is pressed into the Steering Knuckle and goes through the lower Control Arm; yes they can be replaced.
The Lemförder/Lemfoerder/Lemforder ones that I bought for Mine were resonabley priced and made in Germany.
It is the same story. If movement in the Joint can be see or the joint can be moved around with no tension on it then the Joint is work. If the Mechanic is only looking at the cracked Boot and declaring the Joint no good that may or may not be true.
Deliveryvalve just posted a thread on the Ball Joints and I think there is a Vid where you can see what a worn one looks like when tested.
I still have dial up Internet and I cannot look at a Video in a resonable time so I do not look.
