Toyota parts reviews

My auto shop is replacing the alternator on my 2013 Sienna for $657 with a DENSO part which is the only brand you should be using IMO.

I put bilstein 4600s on. Theyre good relatively inexpensive shocks.

I went with KYB rear struts for my 07 Touring earlier this year and the rear feels tighter and more stable over bumps.

At least for my ‘18, nothing lasts as long as the OEM ones. Not even close.

I’ve only been driving my 2024 for 22 months and 30,000 miles, still have the factory blades on, have not worn out at all. I apply rainX monthly, so the wipers don’t get used much

If you think you're going to do some more events, or are adamant that you'd feel more confident with a track type pad, then a good budget track option might be the Powerstop Track Day Spec. Make sure to get the "spec" (PSA-) and not the regular Track Day pads (PST-). I've run these for about 6 events and looks like I can squeeze out one more.

You're safe to run them on the street for the handful of days for the swap around the event, they do have less cold bite, but they still stop you. I mostly don't like them for the street because the dust is pretty intense. A little dusty and noisy, no big deal, but the dust can be very hard to get off your wheels if the dust gets wet later...not unlike concrete.

But they're a decent, budget friendly, track pad. They're something like $100-110 for front set and $90-100 for rear set.

My toyota battery from 2013 lasted 12 years. I hope my 2025 Hyundai battery can come close.

Definitely a bit less grip in the dry than the 215 PS4s, but they're actually usable in the cold, solid in the wet, and at least passable in the snow. I'm not sure how much of the change in handling is down to the taller sidewall and narrower tire, and how much is the tire compound itself.

Making a left turn into a business parking lot, I heard a pop and the left front dropped and the sound of rubber getting mushed. Not even a bubble before this happened.

One of my sons has a Toyota, which broke a drive shaft, and the A/C packed up.
