markssupra Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Just checked the prices for these on Whifbitz and they have gone up by £145 each to £430. This is in the past week. /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif I am renewing all the bushes and just in case the ball joints are fooked I will get new upper arms. I could get a pair of Powerhouse Racing Control Arm Pair for 1993-98 Supra for £635 ($999) from MVP Would these be ok on a street car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 has to be an error when correcting the prices for the vat, thers no way they can just throw £140 on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 All 8 of the arms or wishbones have ball joints. I know, lets hope there all ok and it's only the bushes need replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Didn't Jamie P recently change the bushes and wasn't very happy with them, ended up fitting new arms i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 That's gotta be an error like. Even my local Toyota dealer is doing them for £376 each, without any negiotated discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 The upper rears are the most expensive of the lot, they use to be similar price to the other arms a few years ago but suddenly went up by over 50% in price. Personally I would stick with new OEM Toyota arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) The rear upper arms were a chunk more than the others, well they were on 03/09/2008 when i changed all the arms etc on my car. The arms went from £144 x 2 £175 x 2 £206 x 2 £309 x 2 all + vat so the rear uppers were £363 back in 08 They are now £430.61 full retail inc vat, i checked this morning.

TonytotheB Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Is this just because time is getting on and they are rarer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyota review their prices every 6 months, some prices go up some go down, how they make the decision I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
