Does this part look new? OEM? $165 on Ebay 48610-59135
I have never bought these control arms before, but the front mains I got from Impex Japan had the part number sticker on them. I wonder, where is the sticker? Is it okay that the rubber looks like it has had use? Seller had great feedback rating, but why was this one was $160. A couple of the edges are really sharp. Sometimes that means low quality. Trying to collect the whole OEM set.
Thanks!
Thanks!

It looks new to me, but there seems to be a crack in the bushing. Am I imaging it?

On further inspection, there is a wax over the bushing. I took it to the Toyota parts dept. today and he leaned towards it being legit and new, but I kinda feel like he was guessing too. Maybe I will just make sure any OEM parts I buy on Ebay going forward have the parts number sticker on them. At least that is something. 100% feedback is another, which this seller had.

It looks very similar to OEM arms I got with bushing coating and some blueish fluid sprayed inside the bushing metal guide.
