Axle / Rear Drive Shaft Boot Measurements
Hi all,
I'm an LS 400 owner, and in the process of rebuilding my rear axles (or so I thought).
Unfortunately, it seems all boot kits for my car are discontinued... Before I go aftermarket, I am wondering about the compatibility of LS 430 boots. I am thinking of ordering the Beck Arnley kits for them as I already have good grease and just need the boots.
However, I don't know the dimensions of the LS430 boots/axles. Could someone please help me by measuring their boot diameters on on the larger and smaller sides using a caliper?
Please see the attached image. Thanks very much!

Found the measurements after a lot of searching.
LS 430 axles are longer and the boots are an inch taller.. So might work on a 400, but there may be issues
