Why not just go buy you some new cable and some solder-on ends and make some new ones?

My front end is horrid. All four ball joints plus every steering component need, almost desperately, replacing. All boots, even on the tie rods, pitman & idler arms, were torn long ago. The grease I add falls off quickly. Steering the truck in a straight-ish line challenges my dexterity! To add to the mayhem down there, someone welded the driver's upper ball joint to the upper control arm. [I missed that weld when I inspected the vehicle. *sigh*]
In short, funds are allocated elsewhere right now!

So I've read! It's got that glue inside that gives a nice weather-tight seal. It's on the list; just not up at the top. :-]

FYI- Harbor Freight sells some decent marine grade that is not too pricey.
