Just wondering if there is a known “list” of parts that should never be replaced with anything other than Toyota OEM parts.
My axle boot is ripped and I’m preparing to pay for a new front left axle. I see non-OEM parts for under $100, while OEM is over $500.
It’s funny because over 5 years of Camry ownership I’ve never seen anyone claim you needed OEM anything. I have a Saab now and there’s a consensus among the community that for spark plugs if it’s not NGK it won’t run correctly. I was under the impression that’s another reason to pick the Japanese brands (and the Detroit big three to a lesser extent) over anything euro
