Default Air Suspension Height Sensor Ball Joint & Linkage Replacement?

I need to replace my Air Suspension Height Sensor Ball Joint Linkage as per the photo below.

The Lexus part number 89408-50040 comes as a complete unit with the actual sensor at a whopping $480 here in Canada. The sensor is fine, it's the linkage that needs replacing as the lower ball-joint seized and snapped the threaded bolt.

Has anyone had any luck sourcing only the linkage or is there a readily available replacement solution?

Further to the very helpful link posted by sha4000, the ball joints need to have M6 size bolts coming out of them in order to fit in the holes in the fixing points.
