Noticed I need to replace my front right wheel bearing. Might aswell do both sides. Also rear upper control arms. The thing is I need help finding these parts. Should I go for aftermarket OE replacement? Or try to find OEM replacement which is way overpriced and hard to find. Ive looked on ebay but I don't know if their good. Thanks!

Not a part you can mess around with buy original

You will also need a wheel seal for each side

Above could be available State side for a good price didn't check. If you buy State side get from a real Toyota/Lexus dealer or you risk getting fake parts. Upper control arms from Toyota won't be cheap assuming they are still available grab parts numbers from here

Aftermarket suspension parts are all about the same which is to say not great.

Thank you so much! Grab them from Japan right? I think that one. yeah Ive looked all on ebay they want 800 OEM replacement for 2 rear upper control arms.

If you don't mind waiting then sure. I buy a crap load from Amayama they are great no issues at all. Well except if a part says >1 it probably is not available it needs to show actual inventory. Not always, but the last about 5 times I tried to buy something that said, "available but quantity unknown" it came back NLA.

Must be really hard to make quality rubber especially if it is bonded to metal because aftermarket parts fail badly here.

Wheel bearings: I would go with Timken or SKF. You can buy these from Amazon or RockAuto. I have used these on an SC race car for 8 years now. They are of sufficient quality. I have never checked but oem is probably NSK. I go oem with a lot of parts but these are fine aftermarket as long as you stick with quality parts.

Arms: I like oem for front lower control arms and rear toe arms. The upper rears are ok to go with the Chinese knock offs or the aftermarket offerings that are out there.

Yes many quality offerings on seals are available at online parts houses.
