Default Rockauto email- Wholesaler Closeout Aug 26 2020

I'm sure many here received the same email but if you didn't find it here- https://www.rockauto.com/RSS/vehicle...l=en&html=true

I picked up a brake pad wear sensor AND a set of spark plug tube seals (FelPro) for less than $5 total.

Good deal on the brake pad wear sensor. Seems they only have the front RH sensor (47770-50050) and I already have a spare so I'll leave some supply for the rest of y'all. The rear RH sensor is 47770-50060, not on wholesaler closeout. I got a set of both front and rear sensors on eBay in 2018 for $8.38CAD (~$6USD) with free shipping, and they fit perfect.

You absolutely do not need the $75USD Lexus brand sensor - it is just a simple copper wire loop that gets scraped open when the pads wear down enough. Get the cheapest you can find or bypass the sensor by joining the 2 ends of wire using a wire cap nut and check your pads regularly.

Great deal for that Raybestos 980199 rear brake rotor (Lexus # 42431-50070) at $24USD. I installed the exact same rotors from RockAuto 4.5 years, 35000km ago, when they were $55CAD (~$41USD). They are still working great.
