Suspension Help

Hey guys I messed up a bit on the road and ended up bending one of my suspension parts. I looked up the diagrams and wanted to confirm that this is the lateral arm.
Amazon Amazon
sells this for $47, but I'd definitely want to look into an upgrade if it's available. I'm not really looking for crazy camber and my car isn't lowered either...maybe a stronger OEM replacement?

This DIY looks like a relatively simple job, but if anyone has experience replacing this part any and all advice will help!

part # 551A0-JL00A

Bent (totally f***ed up):


Straight:

That is #8 in the diagram, it's your OEM camber arm (a dead giveaway is the concentric mounted washer on the inside mount). It's a simple replacement, just make note of the washer placement, you want your new arm to have that bolt in roughly the same point in the slot.

If you do ever plan to lower your vehicle might just want to pony up for the SPC adjustable set here~

I think you can get the pair w/ toe bolts for about $180 if you check around.
