Parts Fitting--the never ending Saga

Not saying to go and always buy from the dealer (i am not a dealer or...blah blah). But I go to buy hoses and belts and an idler bearing and low and behold--one of the belts was to short, both hoses were to tight to fight on the radiator, and the idler bearing was 'universally" different from the factory one.

Now--i am just tired of having to hassle with bad fitting parts--it is a PITA and just makes working in cramped quartes that much worse. I dont understand the "universal" parts theory--its a Toyota, not a "Universal".

Donate my left N*T for a parts house with reasonable prices and correct fitting prices.

Are you sure they sent the *right* part? I used to work at a parts place back in college and there were plenty of dudes there that didn't give a crap if they got you the right part or not.
