Default passenger side wheel u-joint

dodge ram 1997 1500 4x4
i was on my way home today and i heard a pop from the wheel area. uh oh
i got underneath and looked and found that my pass side u joint cap came off.
the u joint looks good and was wondering if i can just replace the 2 caps on the wheel side not the shaft side? or do i really need to replace the whole thing. the shaft side caps and seal are in great shape with no play.

Yes, you really need to replace the whole thing.
