Teekay Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Rubber boot for drop links in front suspension are split and I need to find replacements. Please see the attached picture. Anyone else faced this and found part number or substitute for other Toyota models, if you can share it, that will be much appreciated. I’ll also keep looking. Thank you

The VIN belongs to the vehicle, not the DVLA. You should find it in the B pillar, passenger side. It Won't look like a European one, because it isn't. Picasso is trying to help you. I checked the EPC myself, and there does not appear to be a rubber boot on there. There are more than one stay bar, maybe the boot comes attached to the correct one !

Sorry not sure what you are saying. Reg number was what we were talking about. I’ve had pmed Picasso, it’s fine. No confusion here
Teekay Posted October 27, 2022 Author Posted October 27, 2022 If anyone looking for same, I’ve received confirmation that part no we need blueprint is ADT38580 autoharp spare sells them, you can Google perhaps many more vendors

No confusion here Picasso asked you for the VIN number, which is allocated by Toyota; and is displayed on the B pillar, passenger side. I assumed that, because you said the van wasn't registered, i.e. assigned a registration number, you couldn't provide the VIN number as requested by Picasso. I am glad Lee sorted it for you, he is probably the best member for part numbers.
ThuMentaliss Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 only issue is how long has this boot not being able to stop the crudd entering the joint...personally I would change the complete arm 2

Thanks anyway Thanks Picasso !

ThuMentaliss Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 sorry to say but it seems any parts that are not service parts are pretty expensive and not original Manufacture's source I should have learnt my lesson after owning two bongos

Blimey! I recently replaced both mine, pretty straight forward with a jack/socket set and checking out YouTube videos. They only cost £16.95 each from https://www.japeurocarparts.co.uk Check with them that the parts fit your model with vin number before ordering. 1
