Default Legit part or no?

So I stripped the bolt and the thing in bolts on on the upper control arm and I read you have to replace the whole arm. So Im wondering if anybody has tried this control arm??http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-th...ht_2043wt_1165
Lexus wants 520 foriit. I know the phrase you get what you pay for very well, but the seller has good feedback. Thoughts?

Im riding with the stripped bolt about halfway in. Is it very dangerous?? Should I not drive it??? BTW IM on air now. Holy crap, 1000 posts already!! :eek:

Not sure if it would help you being on air, but what about the adjustable control arms from one of the vendors on here, I think they were about $400 for both sides

Those are the ones I was talking about, not sure if anyone on here has used them or not.
I was thinking of getting them to fix my camber.

Ok, well, call me cheap if you want, but I really dont know the purpose of those arms. I managed to find a used control arm for 125.00. Its off a GS400. Do they have any issues? Such as the lower control arm of the 98-00 Gs's? I really dont see the purpose of the camber arms, and I also have to buy the UAS brackets. Man, I strip a bolt, I have to but the whole arm, that sucks! Thanks for the replies, Keep them coming..
