Post by: Harrylyttle on September 3, 2017, 10:54
Could anyone please confirm if a company called Koyo make the original equipment front wheel hub which includes the bearing and the anti lock break ring The price for the branded Toyota part is around £200 but  I have been offered a brand new Koyo part which the supplier says is identical made by Koyo who actually make the Toyota item, but at£90 what do you think?
