Usually, you can't replace the cover. You have to buy new ball joints, which are reasonably priced (buy them from an auto parts supplier, not a dealer). You should replace them in pairs, since if one is worn out, the other will be soon. Also, you don't want the suspension behaving differently on different sides.
In addition, you need a special tool, sometimes called a "pickle fork," to remove the ball joint, which is also reasonably priced and a lot of fun, since you get to pound on it with a hammer.
