**For 2001 and 2002 Models, I was told by our local Toyota dealer you cannot just buy the actuator for the front doors. You have to buy the entire lock assembly. It seems that this might be bad information from what we've heard from a couple people. It sounds like you could buy the same actuators for the front doors listed above for the 1996-2000 models and it will work for the 2001 and 2002 models as well. But, please do your own research and confirm this is the case before making a purchase.
