Good deal on knock sensors?
My check engine light has been on for a while for "knock sensor bank 2 circuit 2" I'm tired of my truck not running at full potential and the mpgs taking a hit, so I've been looking into ordering parts. I'm going 100% OEM denso for the sensors and already got the harness from the dealership. New sensors are not cheap at all, but I found an eBay seller selling the sensors with the correct part number for $45. This seems way cheap to me, almost too good. But if it's legit I'm definitely going to jump on them. Here's the link to the sensors: GENUINE OEM 89615-12090 DENSO TOYOTA LEXUS KNOCK SENSOR TOYOTA PART | eBay

Any input is greatly appreciated!

When I replaced both knock sensors on my 98, I bought OEM off eBay for around the same price of $45. When I got them they were legit and worked great. I don't know if it was this exact seller though. My advice if you buy them would be to screenshot all of the ad, especially the parts that claim OEM Toyota. This way if the part that comes to you is anything but you can dispute it. That is what I do with all of my OEM purchases from third party retailers.

I just checked my old receipts and the seller I bought mine from was tiwarani, and my total was $85 for two sensors. One more thing that you may want to check when buying these is the brand sensor your truck has in it. I think I remember certain trucks have Denso and some have Matsushita. You can search around on how to tell which yours has but the reason you'd want to is the connectors are different (I think). Mine were denso and I noticed you bought the harness so it may be that as long as the harness you bought and the sensors you buy match your good. Just something worth researching in case.

Sweet thanks Grayson! When I'll get home I'll check the harness plugs and see if they match up. There a few threads that says even if your truck has matsushita sensors you should use denso instead. I'll do some more research before. Thanks again man!
