Default 1998 GS300 Front Passenger Actuator

Hello everyone,

I am new on this site and very excited to be on here! I am a 26 year old girl that owns a 1998 GS 300 Lexus. I love to learn all I can on it, and find it thrilling to see it taken apart and put back together. My friend is showing me all about it. Recently, we took off the door panel to the front passenger door. I need a new actuator for that door, but am having trouble finding one. Can anyone help me out? I am looking for a good model and for reasonably priced, as I am on a budget.

Thank you everyone for the welcomes and the comments! Unfortunately, Rockauto only carries the rear left door actuator, it seems ;( Checked Google and eBay as well. Sewell has them, but they are kind of pricey.

This issue has been covered countless times!

When I got my car, one of the actuators were bad. Looked it up online on how to change them and realized I only needed to change the motor inside the actuator. Only costed 5 bucks and 2 hours of my time, never caused me any trouble since.
