    Curious as to the stories/longevity of aftermarket Engine Moving Control Rod?
    Toyota part is 12363-21030

    The OEM is $81 locally from Toyota dealer that also sells online.
    RockAuto has a BeckArnley for $53 ($42part + $11 shipping), but of unknown manufacture, quality, longevity.

    I can't imagine this would even be a thing an aftermarket torque strut or engine moving control rod should probably be the least of your problems in your Prius world. From some of my bushing makers they even make urethane bushings to fit in some of these torque struts control rods and so forth they generally looked up by the diameter of the round and the hole for the bolt that passes through nothing really special there I would say get the cheaper of the two the Toyota part is not going to make any difference to me you or anybody unless they want it to.
