B4Leg365 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I’m having some trouble getting control arms for my car I’ve gone to my local auto parts store and they keep on getting me the wrong parts which is getting kind of frustrating, does anybody know a good website or have any suggestions on how I get parts that fit my car?

doublechaz Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Looks like https://www.subarupartsdeal.com/ has a listing for control arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4Leg365 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks a lot I found it on the yahoo auction, can I order stuff from there though or is it for Japanese only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdsd16 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hey guys, I don't want to hijack the thread, but in a similar vein of thinking, does anyone have any tips on navigating sites that are in Japanese as someone that doesn't speak Japanese? Been trying to use google translate and sometimes it's spot on and sometimes it doesn't work at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlight Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Check out MyJapanBrand.com. I placed my order on Yahoo Auctions through them, it gets delivered to their warehouse, then they ship it over. You should know, however, that shipping is quite expensive. I used google translate (through the Chrome function) and it worked well enough for me. If you can isolate the characters that you're translating, that makes searching much easier. muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4Leg365 Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Ok so I went on the homepage of yahoo auctions japan and it said to ship internationally click here and it transferred me to a website called buyee.jp and it had all the original auction items on there does anyone know if this site is reliable or should I avoid it?

KIWILEG Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Out of interest how much are alloy lower arms worth in the usa? WOuld it be worth me getting a few sets shipped over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4Leg365 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 You would probably be cheaper off buying them in the US only reason I’m ordering from Japan is because I have a JDM and the control arms are different than the USDM models Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIWILEG Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I am in nz and all our stuff is jdm for example a set of arms here i could get for about 100 usd. shiiping would prob be about 40-50 i would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4Leg365 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Oh sorry thought you were in the US, i don’t know how much shipping would cost from japan but if it is around the same price as US shipping then buying from Japan would be cheaper, they have a page explains the shipping cost I just haven’t looked into it yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIWILEG Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 yeah i just looked it up . shipping from nz to us for approx 7kg (16lbs) would be about 107usd delivery in 3-10 working days so all up looking at about 200usd delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4Leg365 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Oh ok so I guess it’s not worth it then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Canada has a lot of 3rd gen JDM stuff. Since they can import the whole car and the US can't. just parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4Leg365 Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Yea but it’s usually used parts and people don’t really sell control arms off their cars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GipsySpec.B Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I recommend going thru Import Monster for yahoo auctions. They’re very reliable and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
