Just wondering if there is a known “list” of parts that should never be replaced with anything other than Toyota OEM parts.
My axle boot is ripped and I’m preparing to pay for a new front left axle. I see non-OEM parts for under $100, while OEM is over $500.
Cheap brake pads, oxygen sensors, knock sensors, tpms sensors, maf sensors, duralast alternators
I work in Toyota parts and these are the most common comebacks for parts
Any sensor or electronic component for sure, get whatever was OEM, doesn’t necessarily have to be from Toyota, but a Denso, NGK, etc.
Ehh it’s a hit or a miss- I’ve seen aftermarket denso o2 sensors fail
Just curious about what’s wrong with Duralast alternators, I have one in my 09 Corolla
Haha, not for long
Ah, longevity?
Seriously the tpsm sensors?
Our techs refuse to use aftermarket tpms sensors cause of constant comebacks
