Question 1

What does a Toyota RunX suspension kit cost and what is in it?

Accepted Answer

A full Toyota RunX front suspension kit bundles both lower control arms with ball joints, both outer tie-rod ends, the inner rack ends and both stabilizer links — everything that takes pothole punishment up front. Depending on whether you choose new aftermarket from Gemini Parts in Johannesburg or used OEM from Caryota Spare in Cape Town, a runx suspension kit lands roughly between R2,400 and R4,800. Quote your year and VIN and both depots will price it together so you can compare.

Question 2

How much is a lower ball joint for the Toyota RunX?

Accepted Answer

The RunX lower ball joint is Toyota part 43330-19115 and it is one of the cheapest front-end repairs on the car at roughly R180 to R320. It is a fast-wearing item on our roads, so if you hear a knock over speed bumps it is worth checking. Send your VIN and we will confirm you get the correct E120 fitment.

Question 3

Can I replace just the control-arm bush or do I need the whole arm?

Accepted Answer

You can press in the bush on its own — commonly the front control-arm bush 48655-12170, though you should confirm by VIN as a couple of variants exist — at around R120 to R260 for the part. But on a budget hatch like the RunX it is often cheaper and quicker to fit a complete lower control arm: 48068-12220 on the right, 48069-12220 on the left. Used arms run R550 to R950 and new ones R1,100 to R1,800.

Question 4

My RunX wanders and eats front tyres — is it the tie-rod ends?

Accepted Answer

Most likely, yes. Worn outer tie-rod ends (45046-49115) and the inner tie-rod or steering rack end (45503-19255) are the classic cause of a RunX wandering on the highway and scrubbing the inside edge of a front tyre. Each part runs roughly R180 to R420, used or new. Quote your year and VIN so we match the exact suffix for your car.

Question 5

How much is a front stabilizer link for the Toyota RunX?

Accepted Answer

The front stabilizer link is Toyota part 48820-47010, and it is the cheap rod that stops the front-end rattle over corrugated tar and dirt roads. A new pair runs about R280 to R480, while clean used OEM links go for roughly R120 to R220. They are quick to fit and a common cause of mystery knocks, so they are worth replacing in pairs.
