For future reference, the Napa seal is ok but there are plenty of online Toyota dealers that sell OEM parts at a reduced cost. I buy a lot of my parts from Olathe Toyota Parts Center
Also, you can usually find Timken seals on Amazon or at other locations. Timken is an OEM supplier and usually is less expensive than the factory seals.
You also reminded me that I need to buy a seal installer kit. That makes installing these parts way easier. |
Unfortunately, I didn't plan it well and the only dealership in town that had the part wanted $60 for it. That's $15 more than MSRP! I don't ever plan on doing any business with them in the future. The dealership I normally buy stuff from has it for $30, but they were out of stock for the foreseeable future. I would've ordered it online if I had more time.
