A place to buy: Suspension Upper and lower Insulators - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

RedPhoenix · 06-15-2005, 09:12 AM

Well im replacing parts. I need to find a place besides a dealership that sells the suspension parts: upper and lower insulators for a 95 camry. Anyone know an online store that sells BRAND NEW ones, not from a junkyard or anything?

Thanks

I know how you feel regarding the price Toyota charges for some of its parts, like control arms and strut mounts. I'm in Europe and it costs 70 Euros plus tax @ 21% for just one front strut mount, (roughly $103) ridiculous! I wish I could find a website that sells OEM parts here in Ireland but, unfortunately were a small country and Toyota dealers have a monopoly share here. But that doesn't mean we all have to put up with crazy prices, if you live in America for example, you could decide to shop here

Gives pictures as well. Prices on most items seem ok, although looking up the control
arms, the price seems only about 10% cheaper. Have a look and let us know how you get on.
I think I have more links in my camry bookmarks, If I find anything I'll let you know. Later

No one has them. At all! Ill stil calling and searching.

BTW that link is how like 90% of the places I checked out.. same setup. They have it all but the insulators and crap. Im wondering if i can just line the strut with black rubber silicone and put the old insualtor on top of it?

You call some places offering wholesale pricing on OEM parts...?

RedPhoenix · 06-16-2005, 06:56 AM

Most of those places like TAPrecycle and all those OEM places dont deal with gettting those. I emailed about 3-4 diff places asking how much for those and rear end links and all they reply back is the endlinks and skip overf the insulators. Mainly its like a $5-$10 part but a lot of labor to get it.

www.1sttoyotaparts.com has them. I'm ordering a set of lower insulators today unless I can get my dealer to match the price. You might have to use the parts search as they don't show up in the "tree" of maintenance parts.

Was able to get them at my local dealer: $15 for the rears (P/N 48258-32020) and $18 for the fronts (P/N 48158-33010).

A bit higher than 1sttoyotaparts but I'll have them tomorrow so it's worth it.

Was it just the bottom or both or what?

Just an update. Toyota Has them. Here was to replace my fronts

The more expensive ones are the top ones. I didnt get the rear ones priced out because they are not as important.
