You CAN change dust covers on track rod ends BUT it requires removing the nut/breaking the taper free .
at which point you may as well replace the TRE especially if your also removing the steering linkage for boots ,or replacement
then the tracking will need doing .
inspect the boots , if they are not split (allowing the ingress of water ,an MOT FAIL ) the leave them be
If there is any play in joints ,replace the track rods ,steering links etc ,anything on it's way out ,in one go ,then get tracking done
