My car is made in Japan, and am using it in Nigeria. I want to buy some spares parts (catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, break pads, steering linkage, tie rods etc) for my car when I travel to the USA and I want to know if they will fit? As my car is not made in the USA. Some of the part numbers I see in the online shops are not exactly same as that of my car. How will I go about this thanks

You may have to see if the cars VIN will work with major spare parts shops ordering systems, if not you may have to try the VIN with a dealer spare parts, but often make modle and year normally will do.
