08 Scion TC looking for parts or Recommendations of where!
Afternoon everyone!! Looks like iv got one hell of a list for purchasing parts..... Never trust TownFair Tires for alignments... (sorry) but they won't touch the toes... ended up freezing my toes and my tires got eaten the.... up. But since time has passed... my tech told me.. I need the following.
Rear strut L (Both if Cheap, Reliable), Rear wheel barrings, Camber bolts, Toe Arms, Front tire rod assembly
(These I gotta do later, unless anyone has any laying around lol)[ ] Trunk latch
[ ] Passage Side Mirror
Any Recommendations or assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
And I'm on the Boarder of MA/RI
Yeah... woonsocket and Bellingham Line lol
LMK!!
Cheers!

I'd go with a quick strut (assembly) instead of a bare strut rebuild. The rear springs are tough to compress with portable spring compressors. If your tech has a spring compressor machine, a bare strut rebuild might not be as much hassle.
You can get a pair of rear quick struts for $60 and up. Brand names like Gabriel, Monroe and KYB will be more expensive.
All the parts you mention can be ordered on Ebay, Amazon or your favorite auto parts store. If you shop online, be sure to add your car's year make and model accurately to avoid ordering the wrong parts.
Your rear wheel bearing is typically available as a hub assembly. It's bolt on, so you won't need a bearing press.
Inner tie rod assembly sounds like the inner tie rod and outer tie rod screwed together. Your tech will know how to handle that.
I'm not familiar with "cam bolts" but I'll bet both Ebay and Amazon sell them.
Not sure about your "tow arm". You have 2 lower control arms up front and 2 upper control arms in the rear.
The trunk latch garnish is available in plastic and metal reinforced versions. The metal reinforcement lasts longer and is worth the higher price. You can get these on ebay in various colors or carbon fiber. I bought a primer only and painted it myself. I used commercial brand spray paint because Toyota touch up paint is $$$$. Ebay also has side mirror assemblies, probably in your stock color.
