Looking for Bearing - Where to Source?

[s_flick]

Anyone can tell me where I can get hold of an aircon bearing on a 2003 Corolla? The parts code should be 30BXOW SIDST but a search on the internet does not yield anything with that code.

This should be a hundred dollar part but no Toyota dealer will sell that part without including the entire housing for $500.00! Rip-off yes I know.

Can anyone give me the contact details of any Toyota parts dealer in VIC?

Did you try and ring "Rolling Bearings" may be they can help you out?

I just tried calling them, great service, but unfortunately unable to help. They don't have the part. That being said, I was told the bearings would really only cost about 15-20 dollars! and Toyota dealers are trying to sell me an entire assembly for $500.00.... that is really amazing.

You've obviously never dealt with dealers/OEM before....

Looks like even SKF doesn't have the bearings.. how can the best selling car in Australia be so difficult to get parallel parts i wonder... Toyota really has a monopoly of parts it seems

If you're in Sydney, look up "CBC Bearings" (- one in Artarmon) or "ABC Bearings" (- i think there's one in Silverwater). It's best if you can bring the bearing along, then they can match it. Or, get the ID(inner diameter), OD(outer diamter), width and numbers off the seal and tell them what it was for.
