Recently got a 2007 GX470 with 97k miles, upon inspection it required lower control arm replacement. Anyone know which aftermarket lower control arm is a direct replacement? I was able to find OEM for 700 on ebay but trying to see what other alternatives is out there.
Also my mechanics suggest getting new cam bolts since he will have to cut it out due to rust. Any insight or information will be greatly appreciated.

What was the issue? Bad bushing or is it cracked?
Search the local junk yard.

What is the "lower control arm"? The lower A-arm (RH# 48068-60010, LH 48069-)?
I would buy the real deal, it's a very important item, etc.

This one on bay is just $65, hard to believe, and I would not trust it.

Agree. If the LCA fails you could get pulled into oncoming traffic or a ditch. And the wheel + tire will cause thousands of dollars in body damage to the fender. Don't cheap out on those - the price screams "Chinesium".

Or perhaps just the bolts are rusted, so some new bushings and bolts may be all that's needed.
Pics from OP would be better here.....
