I called Castle Hill Toyota and got quoted $160 for 1 x Steering Rack Grommet and 2 x Sway Bar bushes not including delivery.
Last I remmeber they didnt cost that much but I could be wrong. Just wondering if anyone else has bought these items recently?
PNs are 45517 24030 and 48815 24051

Done. Sway bar bushes are $50-ish per pair. I don't remember the price for the steering rack bush though.

Yea thats what I thought... which leaves the Grommet at approx $110 which I find a bit hard to believe... Im going to call other Toyotas tomorrow to confirm.

Grommet was about $60 as i recall, from my local import-friendly Toyota dealer

Im sure *some* people in the know get good prices from Castle Hill...

My mate works in Parts at Toyota.

Ask for Adam Houchin. Say your a Mate of Danny the Butcher and a member of the Soarer Club and see if the price improves any.

Tell him i'll sort him out if it dont! Hehehe.

I have the receipt in front of me from April this year from Castle Hill Toyota for exactly the parts you mention.

Cost is $100.10 plus $6.36 freight.

Are you sure they haven't quoted for two of the steering rack grommets by mistake?

OK just got back from Penrith Toyota.
$45 for 2 x swat bars and $50 for the grommet.
I dont know if there was a misunderstanding with Castle Hill (I asked 3 times to make sure) but he wasnt exactly very friendly either, so Im glad I took my business to Penrith instead.
