Quoted $1484.59 for control arms. Rip-off? - Toyota Yaris Forums

So here's what I ended up doing...nothing! Seriously, I took the vehicle to an indy dealer for an MVI. I didn't tell them what the Toyota dealership said about the control arms. The indy dealer did the MVI and didn't find anything that failed, so I got a new sticker for 2 more years!

Having said that, they recommended an alignment, which I agreed to. After it came off the alignment machine they said they couldn't get it quite perfect because they believe my right control arms is slightly bent.

So all the signs are pointing to new control arms/bushings/ball joints in the future, but I am not under a deadline now, so I will probably wait for the parts to go on sale somewhere and buy them locally.

Thanks for your help!
