GS300 Rear control arm help
So I recently acquired this vehicle (1995 Lexus GS300) and it began to shake as I drove it, had a buddy look at the car and he told me it was the upper control arm for both sides on the rear of the vehicle.
The wheels wobble and I don't know if its just the bushing, or the entire upper. Either way can anyone give me some information on this piece and where it may be acquired? I have found a few things online that look promising but mostly they are diagrams of the entire rear suspension and im not 100% sure what to get, where to get it or if this part is actually going to cost me 500-800$ a piece...
Attached are images of the piece.
Any help would be majorly apreciated!
Here is where I was looking.

I noticed its called a "genuine" part, implying that its for the original model, but have these been made cheaper later? do I have other options?

Might also look at your rear sub frame bushings
Mine were shot in my 95 and the rear end would start to shake like a wet dog. Also if it feels like your tail is a bit loose around corners, check those bushings. Same thing we do on MK3 Supra's, same great results

Did you get the arms installed or did you install them yourself? Mine is messed up from a tow since the ******* didn't strap the car down right..

My rear bushings on the control arms are shot. Causes the car to wobble side to side at highway speeds. I was going to get super pro bushings as I have replaced ALL lower bushings with super pro front and rear, but with 430k miles on the car, decided to get new arms as I am sure the ball joints are probably worn as well. Found these for $130 shipped for the pair. Hopefully they hold up for the rest of the time I have the car.

Dang the OEM parts are expensive! 900 dollar pair right there.
Makes me wonder why these are so cheap, or why there is such a huge markup on upper control arms from toyota!
