Have just a price from Toyota to replace front airbags/shocks, asking $1240 each ( not fitted )

Is this the going price? -or have I just bought next years intake for the the Crows!

Either way a pair of second hand bags will be on the market in a few weeks for any one that is interested.

$1240 sounds excessive!
I got quote from Castle hill toyota recently,it was just under $800 I think from memory.

Having said that, earlier this year they sent price of conventional shocks up 100%,so they may well have upped the airbag price.

Mark, what condition are your airbags/shocks?
If you don't mind me asking, where did have your bushes fitted? I recently got my VFT bushes and I'm looking for a good place in Adelaide, that won't rip me off (ie. not Pedders) to have them fitted...

Wess, thanks for the Feed back, the bloke who got me the quote is a dam good ex- Toyota mechanic, I have been going to him for years- ( the missus has a Paseo and I have an old HJ-61), he said he could them ex- Melb in a couple of days and said there was not much mark up as he is only a small show.

Razvan,
The LHS front air bag split on top, so I promptly poured in some Araldite - it was quite a neat job, as it has a small lip to hold it in. I drove around for a week then and bought a second hand one from Natasha, who was advertising a couple of front bags for sale, but did not get around to fitting it in.

I decided long term to go for new.

So now I have a front set( + spare LHS repaired) from a sc400 with 139,K's on the clock.

The VFT bushes were fitted by my mechanic
