Need help identifying replacement part!
I have encountered a problem with identification and purchase of a part that links the suspension of my 2001 RX300 to an electronic device's swing arm. It is located behind the rear passenger wheel.
I am guessing it may be a part of VSC system or suspension leveling system as it seems to be telling the computer in what position is the car's suspension. Please check the photos and any help finding a replacement will be appreciated!

it looks like an arm for the electronic height controller. I have this on my 02 RX but really wonder how this works. There are no electronics associated with all 4 of my struts.
You won't find that part separately.
Try mcmaster carr for some ball joint linkages and threaded rod.

You are correct. When I move the arm of the device that was linked to the swingarm it raises and lowers the lights. I still wasnt able to find a place to buy the link from the first photo. The ball joint seized and as a result the link broke. Thanks for the input!

Check this out
Suspension Ride Height Sensor Rear Right Dorman 924-775
or try to locate the left and just use the connecting rod.
You can try to have it welded too.

Thanks! It seems that this may work. I will give it a try and order.
I thought about welding but the ball joints are completely seized. Even soaking for days didn't help.
Will keep you posted!

Check at your local parts store as it would allow you side by side comparison.
