I just worked up a quote on Japan parts for 2 x lower front ball joints with the arm bushes, 2 x upper arms complete and the parts total is $907 and change with $206 shipping. Fook me 1100 to do ball joints.

Shall I take it like a shemale or is the dollar going to be worth more in the near term?

I don't think they are but the EPC says that they come as an assembly and if I'm going to do the front end I wanted to do it all. The fucker is costing me real money so I'm keeping it for a while and I want to do it right.

Where was that link to the NZ Toyota dealer that everyone uses?

Placing an order, thanks for the help.
