Cool, just found the original recall documents on the NHSTA site. They call it the lower control arm, which helps explain why I can't find any parts when I look for a trailing arm.

Driver's-side replacement arm is 48707-16903; passenger's-side 48703-16903. Either one seems to be $300 from Toyota.

What's that thing mounted to the right (driver's side) of the engine? Something for A/C?

Yeah, I really want one but that is way too far away.

Peter, the SR5 hatchbacks (both first and second gen) are highly sought after!

Dude..

The research you've already done into the replacement part.. your proximity.. the rarity of a rust-free body on the East Coast in THIS model.

And your signature:
