Toyota Corolla what does it all mean

I have a Toyota Corolla ZZE122 5 door hatch and broke the tail light. The exact part I need is I think here.

I have searched around and there are a few ZZE122 tail lights in NZ, that dont look exactly like the same but does the ZE122 mean it will fit ? So I could just buy two of of them and replace both lights so they match ?

I found this one which does not match but does the ZZE122 mean it will fit ?

I can also buy this, and replace both.

Best place for Chevy spark parts

Hey guys. I just got into a car accident yesterday in my new baby. I know Im an idiot I know its my fault. My car is kind of damaged and Im just looking to see if anyone on here knows where I can go to buy cheaper car parts online that will come pretty quickly? Pre painted or not idk. I live in NJ. I need the front bumper cover and the fender. If not do you know if this type of issue is repairable? How much can I realistically expect to spend? Im so sad because I am really scared of driving and this is why.

ToyotaPartsDeal.com BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!

I just had my second shitty experience with ToyotaPartsDeal.com

1st time I ordered from them they sent me the wrong parts, not even close. It took weeks to complete the RMA process and get it sorted out but I did eventually get the correct parts.

2nd time (I should have learned the 1st time) I ordered a new LH front axle, drive flange and gaskets. The box arrives still sealed but very poorly packed. Everything was in the box but the $72.09 drive flange. (no packing list) I take pictures of everything and then begin the RMA process. I explain the flange was not in the box and send them all the pictures they requested, I get a reply saying they sent all the parts and I was basically out of luck.

These guys are terrible! I had to reach out to the credit card company who gave me a refund as ToyotaPartsDeal.com are known for this. I would urge everyone to not use them, their prices are not that good and the customer does not come first. I will never use them again.

Need help identifying a part

I’m inspecting our 2012 TSX wagon after my wife was involved in a minor fender bender. Fortunately no one was hurt but upon removing the bumper, it’s obvious there was some parts broken under the bumper. Holy smokes those bumper clips were a PITA to remove. I’ve already identified the passenger side “Headlight Bracket Bumper Right Beam Mount Support” is broken and will need replacement. However, I’m unable to identify this part circled in red that seems to be a shield for the duct under near. The drivers side is intact for comparison. Would appreciate some direct or links!! And let me know if there’s something else I’m missing.

Plastic parts

Hey everyone,

Some of you might remember a post I made a while back showing off a custom MagSafe wireless charger I designed and 3D printed for the E46 centre console.

Since that worked out so well, I want to use my mechanical engineering background and print setup to try tackling more of the infamous E46 "plastic-itis". We all know how brittle the plastics and clips get on these cars after 20+ years in the Aussie sun.

I’m looking to model up and print some of those annoying little parts that are either NLA or cost stupid money to ship from overseas just for a 50-cent piece of plastic. I'm already looking at redesigning the window regulator sliders and those interior trim clips that always break, but I want to know what else is driving everyone crazy.

Is there a specific bracket, trim piece, or sensor clip that always snaps on your car? Or maybe another custom quality-of-life mod you wish existed but no one makes?

Let me know what’s currently giving you grief. Also, if anyone has their broken original pieces sitting in a bin somewhere, let me know—I'd love to grab them to get the dimensions right!

Mopar Tonneau Cover Part Question

I have a four panel Mopar hard tonneau cover on my 22 1500 6 foot box. The last panel broke off. I went to the dealership, but they don’t have anything that would connect the last panel to the first three panels.
I’ve searched online and Mopar parts, but I couldn’t find anything that would join the two panels together. Any recommendations?

Are these holes in the rear suspension control arms normal or rust? And should this have passed inspection?

1st photo is a rear arm control with several holes. 2nd photo is the other rear arm control with one hole and a rust flake stuck in it. 3rd photo shows the dent with the 2 rust holes. 4th photo shows my sticking something behind the thing that the police said isn't a hole.

I just bought this car from a sketchy dealer. I had this car state inspected and they passed it. Then it started giving me check engine and antilock break malfunction warnings so i took it to Toyota. Toyota told me the front and rear suspension components should have failed inspection because they are rusted with holes and dents. Then I had it re-inspected by the state police. The police did tell me he knew the inspector really well who first inspected my car. I'm surprised he'd tell me that. He at first said he knows for a fact it's not going to pass his inspection just from the pictures and since the inspector has no previous violations, he's just going to maybe give him and warning and let me and the inspector figure out who is paying for fixing it because he can't tell the inspector to pay me for the cost of fixing it. But it will have to be fixed.

Then when the policeman gets comes to Toyota to inspect it in person, he said "We can't find anything wrong with your car. It's not rust, it's a coating they put over it and those aren't holes, they are dents." I told him sometimes when I break, the car seems like it's going too forward. Police said that's just the hybrid battery changing from gas to electric. He says for it's age (2016) it's in pretty good condition. Then says, the dealer will just tell you to "beat feet" if you try to return it because anything else like engine issues and antilock break malfunction isn't part of the safety inspection so just "drive it til it dies". I checked myself later and they are in fact holes! I think he colluded with the inspector to not get him in trouble. Sometimes when I go over a bump or pothole, the car bounces too much or leans to one side.

What to do next?

Need help about Steering rack prices!

We have a Nissan Almera 1.5(2017). Lately the car had been making noises when sharp turns or going through bumpy roads. Our authorized mechanic suggested to replace the steering rack which cost about 3k++. So I’m wondering does anyone here had their steering rack replace but with much cheaper cost? When I searched for the spare part online, it cost less than 3k.

PartsAvatar is notorious for delayed shipments

PartsAvatar is notorious for delayed shipments and sometimes questionable parts quality. Ordered the 2nd time from them and even after selecting "Rapid Shipment' of 4-5 days, they send the item after 7-10 days. Big facepalm. There won't be next time for them for sure.

Can you help my find which mounting piece I need to purchase by looking at my center cap?

When I was in SF someone tried to steal my tire and broke off my moubting bracket. I haven't been too concerned with it but now I want to sell my SUV and would like to have this replaced before putting it online. I have 4 extra vision caps so I just need the mounting piece. Im not a car girl so I am not sure how to remove one of the existing mounts to see if there is a part number behind it. I can take it to a tire shop but they may need to order the part and id like to get this ordered and put on myself. I have attached photos of the broken off one, one still intact and the front and back of the center cap that goes on the wheel. I appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you in advance
