Thought I’d share (again). Sway bar bushings for my 2000 Camry. Been seeing quite a bit stuff from India lately. I bought a set of American Racing AR26’s for my F150 and they too were made in India. Finish was excellent on the aluminum.
Lol at the oil filter comment . I bought a ton of Genuine Toyota parts and it began adding up very quickly lol. I had to stop myself at around $1,000 of spending and remind myself that’s it’s an almost 24 year old CamryInteresting that the TRW trademark isn't owned by ZF
You know you're on BITOG when you mistake that wheel for the bottom of an oil filter! Before I read the post, I thought it was the thread end of a filter, and I was wondering where the gasket was!
Most aftermarket rubber bushings seem to come from India these days.
FWIW, the OE Toyota bushings are still available for your 2000 Camry.

It’s been in Northern California all of its life! Hoping to keep it as long as I can. It’s very comfortable to drive and I typically have to pull over to grab a coffee because I get a bit sleepy driving that thingIn California, that 24 year old Camry will last at least another 24 years
The east coast is harder on them due to rust
Add in Bangladesh to that list too!I usually look for India if I want a soft towel. They seem to be really good at towels.
TRW is in general no longer a top tier parts manufacturer, it is not the same USA company founded in 1901. Today ZF uses the name for many third or forth tier parts, ditto Moog. Real pre 2001 TRW parts were very high quality.Thought I’d share (again). Sway bar bushings for my 2000 Camry. Been seeing quite a bit stuff from India lately.

Should I return these and get another brand Trav?TRW is in general no longer a top tier parts manufacturer, it is not the same USA company founded in 1901. Today ZF uses the name for many third or forth tier parts, ditto Moog. Real pre 2001 TRW parts were very high quality.
If you get anything from Mevotech that's the TTX series, those are badass. Mevotech puts out two different lines of parts.Should I return these and get another brand Trav?
Thank you. I’m on the fence with Mevotech because of all of the horror stories I hear in the 10th Gen F150 group I’m in on FB..If you get anything from Mevotech that's the TTX series, those are badass. Mevotech puts out two different lines of parts.
I have their TTX series outer tie rods on my Buick. They look like something from an off-road kit. They're beefy AF.Thank you. I’m on the fence with Mevotech because of all of the horror stories I hear in the 10th Gen F150 group I’m in on FB..
