Default Good place to get a lower control arm?

I need to know where I can get this part:



http://www.yiparts.com/2008/showpic....yCGFFwuFDyoKQH

The site I got the picture from does not have a way to purchase.

It's part number is 48670-53010.

I feel like I'm going to have to go to a dealer for it because there aren't any local (Pittsburgh) places that have it or can order it.

I had an old guy run a red light and nearly wreck me. It was be side swiped or hit the curb. I hit the curb and lost 2 tires, a shock, and both components of the control arm.

Everything else is accounted for except this piece and I don't want to have to go to the dealer now after taking care of all the other components.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Not that it's important really, but I have a 2001 IS


Update:
Searching using keywords and part numbers completely failed me. So I began clicking through every IS300 part on every website I could find that had Lexus parts. After quite a while I was finally able to locate the part.

Thanks anyway.

And for anyone else that may need this part in the future:
http://www.************.com/PartDeta.../pagenum1/tabS

auto parts way is the missing bit

Keywords for easy searching:
Lexus
IS300
IS 300
Lower Control Arm
Curved
48670-53010
48670 53010

I believe sewell will give you discounted pricing if you let them know that you are a member of CL.

Thanks for the helps guys. I'll keep those in mind, and hopefully I won't ever need them again. (Knock on wood)

I'm right next to North Park, but I work in Moon. My brother has an IS350. He's in Zeilenople. He traded in his 300 for it about a year and a half ago.

There aren't many others around though.
