Sure would be great to start a thread for rounding up all known LS400 OEM's by part type, would save us a fortune on buying many parts directly as OEM brand vs. buying the dealership blessed version of the exact same part for 4 times the price!

most interior parts such as seats, trim, headliner - Toyota Boshoku

idler bearing - Koyo, NSK
timing belt tensioner bearing - Koyo, NSK

distributor caps & rotors - NipponDenso
brake calipers - Akebono, Aisin, Sumitomo

I would love to know the OEM for inner & outer tie rod ends, strut rods, upper control arms, bushings, and other suspension components, if anyone can contribute on that.

Awesome thread is awesome, however, isn't the trans fluid strictly Toyota T-IV whereas the power steering fluid would be Mobil? Just wondering.

We need an aftermarket section thread, I might sort all these into categories in my spare time. This is great info.

Toyota doesn't manufacture any fluids, they buy them from the petroleum refiners, Toyota T-IV is just relabeled Mobil 3309 ATF that is just sold in a Toyota bottle. It's Aisin who specifies this fluid.

and if your Mazda dealer has a better price, you can certainly buy your Mobil 3309 from them:

I've been underneath my car for the last half hour or so, and the back of my calipers are marked "Sumitomo." I see you stated Akebono as the OEM supplier and Sumitomo as a possible pad supplier, but would it be possible for Sumitomo to have made the calipers as well? Mine's a '97.

not only possible, but probable, I inadvertently left them out - oops!

however, many LS400 calipers 97 and earlier were Aisin

the problem i see here is that toyota has used different manufacturers for the same part in the SAME YEAR, and uses different manufacturers for the same part across different years. so this would only be useful if you say what years that manufacturer made said part.

'95-00 afik:
Air filter:NipponDenso
Front brake calipers: Sumitomo

more when i have time and rest

speaking of Sumitomo, I understand that they are no longer in the caliper business, and that Advics has bought up all of their plants and tooling etc.

good info! never knew this, though type-iV is pretty cheap to begin with.

i would assume toyota actually makes the tie rods, and suspension components besides the struts themselves.

if you price it out, you'll find that the toyota price for T-iv is actually the lowest you're going to find that fluid for usually.

I know the headlights, turn signals, and pretty much all the "lens" on Toyota vehicles are made by Koito.

Yes, KUZEH is supplying thermostats to Toyota. I found mine was KUZEH

As far as I know, tie rod ends and upper control arms are manufactured by TOYOTETSU

どうもありがとう muchas gracias!!
