Suspension compatability and availability

[CrunchingGears]

Okay guys, I have a 2000 Toyota Avalon.

I can find a BILLION Urethane bushings. But I want rubber. And I need it cheapppp.

I need lower front control arm bushing, steering rack bushings and rear trailing arm bushings. I drive at 90 on the highways because I cant stand the shaking! Oh, and engine mounts would be good too. Other than that, my baby is absolutely immaculate.

Basically, I have a few european cars as well, so I know the value of shopping oversea's.

E.g. 1998 BMW 528i, e.g, i got Bilstein B6 shocks and coils from USA five times cheaper than OE shocks and coils over here.

But ive never shopped oversea's for any of my Japs before. Hmmm. Seems more difficult.

For starters, my Avalon is a totally different year model from the same car oversea's. As well as that, there are a large number of changes between the models which aren't published, so i'm unsure as to whether these affect the bushings in any of these area's. To add to that, I would love to know whether these parts were shared with the late nineties or early two-thousands Camry's (which would make it SO much easier).

Can anyone help me?

(and if anyone is a reallllllly keeeeeeen Avalon fan, I have a whole host of little niggles that an OCD mind can relate to!)

You want rubber then go genuine... Parts aren't that expensive at all...

If you need to buy parts overseas go to Rockauto.com and look for for 1997-1999 Toyota Avalon (US Variant). I bought my timing belt kit (tensioners, roller, idler belt ) , water pump, brake parts hardware and they fit perfectly.
