For a pair of front swaybar links from a $tealer downunder, they want AUD$150(etk31351134582) and AUD$100 for a pair of rear dogbones (etk3551135307) + 10% GST. Total = $275 aussie or $215 US


BMA auto parts want US$34 for the front swabar links (pair) and US$34 for the rear dogbones(pair).

0.78 exhancge rate = $87 AUSSIE. that does not factor in shipping to australia. Say it's another US$68 to get here (thats a bit steep). That's working out at AUS$175 or AUD$100 saving.

Car part prices are very high downunder.

etk for the rear sway bar link is (33551135307) not the rear dogbones. The ETK for the rear dogbones (called etk as the Pitman arms) are 33321126476.

These go for AUS$186 each from the $tealer. (I think it's not Lemforder brand). The bring the grand total for these four parts to $545 aussie.

Can you believe it? BMA auto parts want US$105 or AUS$135.

I know it ain't OZ, but Patrick at BMA can be very good at shipping to Canada (with some items). I'm sure shipping down under is much more expensive than Canada, but no way its an extra AUS$410 ($545-$135). PM me if you'd like my experience with BMA and shipping outside the U.S.

I hope gas isn't $2.00/l

Good Luck,
