Not to sound like an ass, but how do you loose a boot? I have driven FWD vehicles since 1985, all driven in the 150-200,000 mile range and have never had a hole, rip, tear or loss of a CV boot.
In answer to your question, I would replace the boots on the whole axle.

In that case, you're probably due for one (law of average catching up).
J/K. Seriously, chances are, the whole drive shaft on that side needs replacing. Once all the grease is thrown out and dirt gets in, it's usually too late to salvage anything.

Well seeing that the car spent its first 100k mi in NewYork could have something to do with the torn boot, and yes I know it will now need to be changed.
