Suspension Question and Reputable Toyota Parts Dealers

[zr1tr]

I need to order some factory OEM suspension parts including LBJs and possibly a steering rack.

I'm trying to avoid ebay. I've heard some of these sellers claim the parts are OEM but once they arrive are not.

What are some of the best online Toyota Dealers that have the best prices.

Toyota of Olathe has a website and I found the LBJs for $135 each.

Just a moment...

Where are you guys buying these type of parts for reasonable prices?

TIA

I use Loading... to find the best deals on Toyota parts. You give it a part number and it will give you all the places it is sold on the internet and its price. It will also include eBay but I usually avoid these as well.

Serra Toyota in Birmingham, AL has been one of my go to's recently. They usually have relatively good prices.

Amayama.com is the jam for lots of OEM parts. Few extra steps for shipping etc., but I've always gotten exactly what I ordered at great prices.
I do not know if any tariff junk affects their ability to sell/ship at prices past, but still definitely worth a look.

Otherwise, tons (except my local one, grrrr) of Toyota dealerships seem to have sites similar to what you linked to. I've used a bunch of those too,
usually holding off for a "$75 Free Shipping" or the like, to sweeten the deal a little better.

I just ordered from them and had to pay a tarriff. It was 15% and paid directly to UPS, so add that into the total price of the order.

A lot of Southeast Toyota dealers participate in a 25% off sale around every 4 months.

Serra Toyota of Decatur is a popular dealership used by the Land Cruiser community for these sales.

These dealers typically do free shipping over $75 and no sales tax if buying from out of state which adds to the savings.

They can get backed up from the volume of orders so not the route to go through if needing parts immediately.

There hasn't been a sale since the tariffs got enforced so not sure if anything will change moving forward.

To give you an example on pricing, I got an OEM 3rd gen 4runner steering rack for $396 shipped during this sale a couple years back.

Thanks for the info. I'll check out some of those sites.

Please no, do not subject this fellow to the torture of dealing with Serra Toyota of Decatur customer service. Better off taking advantage of the sale through Valdosta Toyota. Partsouq is fantastic all around as well but always calculate total cost with shipping before buying.

I alluded to being patient for these orders in my original post so not sure how I'm misguiding anyone. I've bought from both and had equally slow shipping from Valdosta. And there's probably more dealers participating than Serra or Valdosta. I'm giving an example.

Do you have other recommendations? Like I said, I had a slow shipment with Valdosta too.

Not shipping. Valdosta can take time too but usually the let me know when something has to come from the CA warehouse. Now if you ever have something arrive damaged and need to initiate a return you will have a hell of a time with Serra.

I looked up a few other dealers running the sale in the south, the lowest initial prices tend to be from Serra or Valdosta.

Gotcha. I wasn't aware the customer service varied that differently.

FYI y'all, a 15% off sale just started today. It ends on Sep 1st.
