upper and lower control arms lasted about 220000km

Hi Just curious i had a old japan built hilux they were the best compared to the newer ones. My old hilux had about 330km on the clock and i never had to do much to it. This 2012 model has about 220000 on the clock and its one thing after the other. I just changed the upper and lower control arm new bushes etc. I know a bloke who had a holden rodeo with about the same km and he had to do all these things also. This must be a common issue with the independent supension at about 200km. I have done the steering rack,steering pump, alternator, brake hubs, front, cv joint boots. There is a crack in the tappet cover now but this is common also... Not made like the old ones thats for sure... Does anyone else find around the 220000 km you get a lot of issues?

Mines has done 200k only had to replace front break pads. But for piece of mind just replaced injectors, clutch - nothing wrong just did as a midlife maintenance, and 2nd gear syncro was getting a little crunchy so had all syncro and kit done while doing the clutch.
I love hybrid cars - means more fuel for me

My 07 is in the same its got 210k on it now, it had 180k on it when i got it,it's one thing after another.
I used to be one of those people Toyota never break these Thailand pos are nothing to write home about the first couple of Japanese Toyotas I had were good 81 hilux then 97 prado . I'm sick of spending money on this one I want to get some wheels yet wonder what else Ill need before I put wheels on it. I still like the way it drives.

Yes that is exactly my thoughts also after my experience. It must be more common than we think.
