Do I replace this?

Crossed over a large ditch/incline and caused some damage. First crossing I took a good line so I thought I'd do it again from a riskier approach angle. Front driver's side wheel was off the ground and I believe this pulled the drive shaft to the left allowing the boot to be melted by exhaust pipe.

Its a simple job to replace the boot, and a heck of a lot cheaper. I've torn the boot on my rear driveshaft, the replacement is straightforward but you do need the proper tool to close the clamps.
