Default 2017 Ridgeline CV Joint boots

The local front end shop tore the CV joint boots on drivers side front, when they replaced a front strut for me. Honda says the inner boot is not available. Anyone know where they can be purchased? I have been combing the net without success. The dealer is sending me a complete axle set, but the axle coming out only has 1288 miles on it.

Sometimes it is easier to replace the entire CV axle than to just replace the inner boot.

Yes, Ive checked with all those. Nothing for 2017. Much cheaper to change the boots , if available, rather then the whole axle assembly,

if you are asking the auto parts house for a specific cv boot, no one carries a 2017 boot except honda. you need to measure your boot, or take it off since it is damaged, and take it to the auto shop to match it. they have the boots aftermarket cut so you can install it without taking off the entire axle, i have changed a few and are still on until the axle needed changing. put greese in before you clamp the ends down. or have the shop that damaged the boot to replace it since they damaged it,
