skorchio Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Recently took my sportrider into Toyota with a steering assembly problem, the stabiliser arm was broken. They fixed it, did a full 110k service and replaced all brakes, for the agreeable sum of 9 grand. But they told me the power steering unit is shot, and a new one is 20k. I am sure a suitable replacement part can be found second hand, but it is difficult to find with limited Thai. If anyone knows of a 2nd hand parts dealer, I would be most interested. The car is a Sportrider D4D 3.0L, 2004 model. It is the same chassis as the Tiger, I am sure the part is the same, and there must be a million of those chassis' in Thailand.

LivinginKata Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 There is a shop with salvaged car bits on Kra Road. That's the road over the canal that leads to Robinson. Shop is located over canal lights, and 2nd shop on right side. Used to be a much bigger place at Fisherman's Business centre (before it became a plush trendy place). Behind the boat sales place. Don't know where they moved, maybe you could ask. That's the only 2 I found but there must be many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 always shortage of secondhand parts for the Hilux, as they average 30 years of lifetime. even totally wrecked ones are rebuild on the other hand, ask in the Motoring forum where to find a new one without Toyota printed on the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caphant Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Does anyone know the mindset about why used auto parts salvage yards(businesses) are not (for the most part) present here in LOS? some of salvage yards, nothing as good as the car grave yards in USA, but there is definately shops which sell and part out wrecks. Ban phli is where i usually go, but thats only if the local shops selling second hand parts dont have it. Some shops in bkk sell imported american parts but this is a hassle hence some rwd american classic cars are swapped with 1uz's and fwd's use nissan sr20s Edited December 8, 2011 by caphant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take the 2wheeler into Phuket Town and find this place. @Caphant - the trade in 2nd everything in this country is phenomenal, everything has a value and little is gifted. We just don't see it in the form that we are used to ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickey Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Skorchio, do you think or know you have a problem with the power steering? is the box or rack leaking oil? is the steering notchey at low speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Nilson Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well, exactly it’s not a shop but you can get any sort of spare parts that you need at your place via some online stores like autopartsfair.com It’s a massive online store in terms of spare parts and the most important thing is that you will get warranty on each spare. So just check this out I am sure they will help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT just saw the date of the thread, I assume you bumped it to advertise your website. Edited May 10, 2013 by Spoonman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
