720 for both side is reasonable, last time my vios cost around rm900 for both side, oem as well, i think the workshop take their cut as well

using oem is actually fine for driveshaft, no need to go for ori, in fact i'm using driveshaft for my car that i bought online from china

my car is mazda 3 2014, the shorter left shaft is around rm450, the longer right shaft is around rm550-600, both are oem price, your car shaft length is shorter so it should be slightly cheaper, but of course different brand and workshop will vary slightly in price

you can also choose to change only the side that is worn out, it is not necessary to change both

or you can also choose to repair it, the cost of repair may or may not be worth it though since the reliability depends a lot on the workmanship and quality of parts used

not sure, because i do my oil change and couple other things together, but i think my workshop charge me less than 100 for that

the parts i get from china is printed with made in japan, and ATF filter from china has made in USA molded on its plastic casing, the driveshaft i get has made in japan etched on the steel rod even though i pay the price for china oem

the grade you mean is actually the different brand and hence the different pricing, so far i only see either oem or japan import, except for brake pad and spark plug, and the price difference if depends on the seller end how much difference they wanna price it

i wonder how many car parts is actually manufactured in malaysia
