Default Upper ball joint boots

I just purchased a 1999 Stratus ES with 2.5L V6. Someone has over-greased the font and rear upper ball joints. The boots have been blown. The joints are still good. I can’t find replacement boots specifically for this model. The front and rear ball joints are the same.
Does anyone have the dimensions of the joint cover and shaft at the point the boot makes contact? If I could get these dimensions I could get boots of the same size. I’m too lazy to detach a joint to make the measurement. Replacing the joint is expensive and time consuming. Or----- Does anyone know where I can purchase boots?

Try a parts store and if they have one in stock, measure it there without buying it.

I tried all the local parts stores and auto jobbers. None of them stock just the boot. The replacement ball joints had different boots. I finally found a Chrysler parts man who lookd up the part. They were inexpensive.
