Hi all,
Just had a newborn in December 2020, and recently came into the procession of a 2005 Toyota Sienna XLE AWD with ~125,000 mies, as a family car. Took it to the dealer to have it inspected to see what needs to be fixed to make sure my little one is safe.
According to the dealer, the front left, and right, control arms need to be replaced, and being the dealer, they quoted the repair job at an astonishing 8k, after parts and labor. I know from experience the dealer always charges more than the real cost, given overhead, etc. I am looking for parts online that are OEM

Im hoping the community here can provide me with information on all the parts everything that is necessary to complete the job, arms, bearing, and anything else. My plan is to buy all the required parts, and take it to a mechanic that I know, and have him install it at a much lower cost.
Has anyone done this, or have detailed info on what I will need part wise?
I'm also considering replacing other things like the strut assemblies, given they will already be accessing that area of the car.
I attached the invoice form the dealer as reference.
Any, and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Ryan
