    I bought mine from Toyota when i redid them last year. A bit expensive but worth it for the quality.

    I've had a set of these on for the last 6 years, they are excellent quality! So much easier when it comes to the alignment time as well, as the adjustability is so easy!

    Also, Peter Gidden is a true gent! He was a star when I had to replace one of mine.

    Those Toyota ones are expensive crap which last about 1 year. Then they build up crud inside and seize making it difficult/impossible to adjust.

    That is a complete load of bull! Toyota oem parts as a rule are generally far superior to any similar aftermarket replacement ones.

    They are crap in this country! They are hollow and seize up the moment they become infiltrated with crap off of the road!

    And the last time I enquired about some they were around £44 for one threaded bit of pipe! What a rip off!
