Parts like genuine bolts can be tough
Expensive at $8.00 for a little bolt, but there is no Mercedes dealership in my hillbilly town of police and fireman. 18 precincts and not a four story building in town.

A-Arms
Well priced and fit perfectly (alignment remained the same). Only 10,000 miles so far and no problems. The original equipment Toyota arms ran well and had no real problems after 185,000, so that is difficult to compare to.

2008 Sienna AWD shocks
I have been rebuilding all suspension components on my Sienna, from the front lower control arms(Chinese quality mistake) all of the way to the outer tie rod ends(TRW) and the only thing left was rear shocks, which were rusty enough to replace but not worn to the point of jouncing. To my surprise, other than a seized caliper in front and the warped disc it caused, all components replaced were still functional and of good quality after 185,000 miles on this heavy van. I now have a new van per-se, and wish I would have purchased more parts from the Toyota dealerships that supply them at reasonable prices. I especially should have bought the new lower control arms(difficult job to do) from Toyota so as to have that obvious quality in place for another 185K. The rear shocks are KYB, but a twin tube gas filled KYB, so they hold up and are not adjustable for stiffness, but better purchased valved for the specific vehicle you own, so buy them from Toyota or have a race car shop shock valving (compression/rebound), but never purchase adjustable shocks for street and daily use on a van. I bought these specifically valved shocks from Royal Toyota for less than aftermarket KYBs of lesser quality or different valving. They match the front and rest of the van well, and are very forgiving in the area of acting the same when the van is empty as they do when loaded with tools behind the rear most seats. That usually means they are working evenly side to side and have a proper fit/design.
