where to buy: Toyota Estima hybrid AHR20 differential arm bushing

[yangys]

I have a Toyota Estima hybrid AHR20 2013. The diffrential arm bushing need replacing. The OEM differential arm part number is 52380-28050. Please let me know if you know anyone who can supply or supply and install the differential arm bushing. I have asked Febest Auto Parts, Auto-Parts and Auto Plus Parts, without any luck. Thank you in advance for any relevant information.

Any good workshop should be able to fit

Anyone comment about this one: https://partsbypost.com/parts/toyota-5238028050?techType=car ?

The price and postage cost is very good. I've never personally used that company so can't comment on them. I briefly tried to find a review and couldn't find anything at all.

There is another supplier at https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/52380-28050-52380-28050-Wholesale-distributor_10000006136125.html. Any comment would be much appreciated.

Where are you located? Amayama is good, I have used it in the past.

[admS15]

Alibaba is wholesale. Minimum 100 pieces. 

It doesn't seem like there are many reliable options for your part. 

I have also used amayama in the past and they where good.

On the plus side it's cheap and you'll be set for the next 2000 years.

Yes you are right. Even conservatively one for 10 years, it would last 1000 years. The Alibaba suplier offer a sample for US$100.

You'd need the sample, and the other 99 samples, because the guy on Alibaba is probably going to try to reverse engineer the part from photos and then stamp them out of pie tins. Or find a part off a Mitsubishi that looks similar.

All this fuss over sourcing a Tarago diff support bracket / cross member. You'll  probably get one from the wreckers.

Just buy it direct for a genuine one from Japan at Amayama, JP car parts, RHDjapan or hell even ebay and call it a day as its only a $100 - $200 part.

Just curious, but why do you need to replace this anyway ? Is the assembly broken or just the pressed in bush flogged out ?

[soviet_merlin]

Oh, I have to be careful with sarcasm on the internet. Please don't buy from Alibaba unless you know what you are doing! Don't skimp on things that affect your health and safety. And buying a shipping container's worth of anything is most likely not a good idea.

As the others have said, buy genuine parts and sleep sound knowing that they are safe.

The metal part is fine. It is the rubber bush has broken such that the diff (actually, it is a rear electric drive as the car is an Estima hybrid) moves up and down to make a knocking noise, particularly when start moving the car. The rubber bushing is also hard to source. I have asked a number car mechanics and they are unable to get the part. This is all the fun to drive an imported car.

Ok so the pressed in bush is stuffed, and that bush is not available separately as it comes fitted to the mount. So your only option is to source a new one from the places mentioned.
