Front Lower Ball Joint Cotter Pin Replacment

[GrayYaris]

Anyone know where to pick one up? My local Toyota dealer can't seem to get me one. I lost the old one in the dirt but I'm sure I can just put a normal cotter pin in there. It seemed to have a stainless finish because it was not rusted out like my tie rod end cotter pin. It was a breeze to pull out.

I am embedding a diagram off of the manual at micro image to clarify which pin I'm talking about.

The diagram identifies the part as "CLIP"

The part number of the clip is 90468-16022. It is an $0.88 part from the dealership.

Thanks Scott. My dealer is ordering them at $1.40 a piece. Couldn't seem to figure out the part until I gave them the number.

It's pretty sad that I am more skilled with Toyota part number searching than most dealers are.

I have copies of the parts catalogs for US, Europe, Japan and General markets. I simply searched for ball joint and then opened the diagram. The clip was shown and clicking on it gives the part number.
