CV axle boot

[GoElectricCar]

Dose anyone know what the inside diameter of the axle boots are, on a 2013 S 85, for the rear CV joints ?

The driver side, rear wheel walked out due to a broken lower control arm and the inner CV joint at the drive unit separated, destroying the boot only. The axle is still fine but I need to find an appropriate boot to repair the issue.

See image below:

you can't run string around the CV for the circumference, then divide it by pi to get the diameter?

Clearly, measuring it is optional and what I will most likely have to do. Just seeing if anyone had access to OEM specs. I will use a Dial Vernier Caliper Gauge type, dial indicator to take the measurement if required.

Did you ever find a source or did you wind up buying the entire half shaft for a $12 broken piece of rubber?

I'm looking for a replacement boot for a M3 AWD front axle. Did anyone ever find a source? A rodent chewed a small hole in the boot and it seems crazy that the only option from Tesla is to replace the axle.

Hi, I have same issue. I need to replace front axle inner boot on my M3LR. Did you find any suitable alternative? By the way, this inner boot is not circular inside due to tripod profile

Used axle on eBay for $125 is how I fixed mine.

i was able to find a matching boot for X (from European car tho) on eBay for ~$30, front outer.
down side is slow shipping..
i just measured the outer/inner diameters n length of original boot/axle (+/- 1mm in diameter should still work)
