I apparently need something called a sub-frame bushing. It is to the right of where you drew the red circle in your picture. I sent pictures of the part that I needed to Gordon at Carson Toyota and heard back about a week later.
He faxed me a diagram of the area along with the part numbers. Then we talked on the phone. The parts I need are almost $600. I'm going to take car into Lexus dealer Tue and see if they agree.

So if you don't get any answers here try Gordon or Steve at Carson Toyota

Ivan, for $600...they're probably trying to sell you a whole new arm piece and not just the bushing. That's the problem thing with Lexus. A simple bushing replacement that should cost $50-100 in parts at most ends up costing 5-10x because the bushing is permanently attached. Thus requiring you to buy a whole new part. A very good example would be the control arm bushings.
