Quality is more important to me than price. You can get OEM replacements at good prices online or at the dealer. My local dealer gives me internet pricing on parts (about 30-40% off retail) only because he is cool and I asked. You get what you pay for.

Realize that as a Lexus is being built in Toyota City parts are coming in from many different vendors.
Denso, NGK, KYB & others oem the parts you see in a toyota box at the dealer.
Example: replaced a wheel bearing with
BCA / Federal Mogul Part # 510017
Other choices where:
Timken #510017 also $45.00
Seal is part #1943 at 877-328-8672
Toyo 40635
$51.00
All sealed bearings made in Japan.
OEM in this case is a Koyo.
If you see this part & then feel you are only doing your car justice with an oem replacement from a dealer, you are indeed a fanatic.
