Teekay Posted October 27, 2022 Share 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.

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 !

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThuMentaliss Posted October 31, 2022 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts 48820-02070 x2 and 90179-12151 x4. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
