Default OEM aluminum SC300 upper control arms

I thought I would take a chance on these ($70), as I found them on eBay and supposedly genuine Lexus. I have my doubts, but just wasn't up for spending another $700-$800. I'm wondering why Lexus even sells them, if they really are OEM.
Can anyone confirm that these are legit and if the bushings and ball joint are in decent condition, there's no downside to using aluminum? Last month, I replaced all the struts, but still have a horrible, loud squeaking noise as I go through dips at street crossings.
Thanks in advance for your insight/opinions.

The oem uppers are aluminum. I used the aftermarket uppers with no issues.
