need lower front ball joints.

Toyota locally want $215 - $225 per side! (only phoned two places)

the question is, what is the CHEAPEST I could possibly get these for by buying from overseas?

one place locally said they were going to get them from Japan anyway, none in Australia? Confused

someone must have done all the ringing around/emailing, etc.

http://www.toyolexparts.com/store.php?prd=BALL_JOINT%2C_LOWER_FRONT_LH&homeinclude=catalog&category_id=38&parent_id=0&product_id=37&countdisplay=5&start=0&addcountview=Yes

is this a good price?

$US126 for the pair ~$166 Aussie dollars, plus shipping.. assuming they will?

I think i paid about $120 canadian for the pair after my buddies workshop discount at West Can parts here in Vancouver.

Im sure it wasnt much more than that if at all.......

Just search online for 1993 Lexus GS300 ball joints.

oh and just a word. once you get the others ones out you can install them yourself as you dont need a press to do it. just insert them and tighten them up till you reach the end of the tread

because, coming on here saying "hell yea theyre readily available from BNT here, (Brake N Transmission) cheap too..."

and then saying they're the same price as from toyota anyway, really helps no one.

Fair point, but it is still the cheapest.

Whether you get them from toyota NZ or from BNT in NZ, you're saving money on getting them from anywhere in Australia
