2001 camry Rear toe adjusting rod - aftermarket? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm trying to find an aftermarket supplier for a left rear toe adjusting rod for my 2001 Camry.
The dealer wants $450 plus for the job. It looks pretty straightforward to me with maybe an alignment afterwards.
Any thoughts? I'm thinking if the new rod is set at exactly the same length as the old one...it's gonna be pretty darn close!
Thanks

You can get a discounted OEM one at: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=213747

Or aftermarket at: http://rockauto.com/

You NEED an alignment after.

I'm looking at Trademotion...nothing seems to fit the description for "toe adjust rod".
And looking at RockAuto, I see the stabilizer link rods, but again , no "toe adjusting".
Am I just missing it?
Thanks

OK, I called...TradeMotion/Toyota World has it for around $96 plus shipping.
RockAuto has no replacement for this part.
THANKS again!

No Problem. I've used Trademotion (Actually a dealer in TX) a few times, and never had an issue. Prices tend to be 15-30% checper then most other deaters, and it;s the same OEM Toyota part.

Before you replace anything, make SURE to spray all nuts and bolts with PB Blaster a couple days before, and then the day before you work on it. It loosenes the rust.

If it's the part I'm thinking of, Toyota calls it the "real lateral control rod number 2". It's the rear one of the two back there; the one with the toe adjustment for the rear wheels. Is that the correct part? Just curious. If so, it's usually the rubber bushings that go on that part. I had to replace one on my 94 Camry about a year ago. I think I paid $156 for one at the local Toyota dealer. I couldn't wait to get it elsewhere. $96 is a great price.
