Prado Suspension Parts

[Brendon]

97 Prado 1kz suspension parts needed. Any one know a good place to purchase new tie rod ends ,upper and lower control arm bushes,stabaliser link ball joints , front shock assembly or just struts etc.
Ive seen ball joints on TM but the postage is heavy.Any ideas on suppliers in NZ?

Toyota sometimes specials off stuff thats been on the shelf a while so can get parts for a steal on the rare occasion.
Most of that stuff should be available from bnt too though and sometimes parts are uprated from the oem stuff. I use the mount shop for bushes as they are usually the cheapest and just match your given dimensions to a book rather than sell you oem parts ie my swift has bushes for a mercedes in the rear arms as the dimensions matched.

I have some lower ball joints, new, but they are oem not OE.

[Trundle]

are you after aftermarket / lifted shocks or std ?

[floatingkiwi]

They're standard ball joints. I got them for my lifted wagon thinking mine were stuffed but in fact they're fine!

Worth a crack. I wanted bushes (be wary of after market as there are two part numbers I'm told for front and rear of the arms - my aftermarket ones wouldn't hold an alignment - could just have been a bad batch though).

I rang Toyota for bushes - wanted stupid money for the 4 of them. The guy then checked up on the system and they had front lower control arms complete with bushes for less than the price of 2 bushes (for a pair ). I got new arms.

Of course it varies as to what is on "special" and when but worth a crack - never know your luck.
