nick_karkie Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Just been told by the guy thats fixing my car that he spoke to Toyota and my j-spec supra requires a special wishbone from Belgium that costs £300 instead of the normal £120 they cost....is this right? Anyone disagree with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 anyone got a spare one by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Nearly all Toyota parts come from their distribution centre in Belgium. I can't look up part numbers here at work, but my feeling is somebody (your garage or the Toyota dealer) is on a flanker. I'm not aware of any differences between J-spec and UK-spec suspension mountings, only the shocks and springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Martins right, they come through Belgium. If the parts are in the UK you'll get them next day, Belgium takes 2-3 days and from Japan is usually a couple of weeks. The part of a price has nothing to do with where they currently have (or don't have) stocks at. Is it a Toyota dealer doing your car, or did your mechanic phone up Toyota directly?

GavinL Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Give Leon at JPS a ring on 01908 - 367100, he found a second-hand one for a friend recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick_karkie Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 current wishbone got broken when my car slammed sideways into a kurb because of some little punk who walked in front of my car on purpose....Punk has since been terminated.
