SAW Heims disintegrated...help

Hi All,

I have had a set of SAW's on my 3rd Gen Runner for the past 3 years and they have squeaked for about 2 of those 3 years. I have been oiling them every month or so and today when I went to squirt some oil on the squeaky balls I found that the left front one is busted....


(The crap all over the shock is dust that sticks to the oil, the bolt is in backwards because my Mechanic is either clever or lazy and the liquid is water.)

Any one have this happen to them. Also where is the best place to get a replacement set of heims for these SAWS, what should I be asking for...

Thanks,
NJ

It was a factory option on the Hilux Surfs. We never get any of the cool stuff over here. :cry:
