Tarek307, I have an extra new (or slightly used) control arm sitting out in my garage. If you post the correct part number for your's, I will check and see if mine is the same. If mine is the one you need, consider it an early Christmas present. I had the same thing happen at America's Tire Store and my insurance paid for the dealer to fix it.
man that is great, thank you so much, i will check the part #

New arm.
You might consider buying a set of these:

Adjustable. And the rubber bushings are removed.
I was in dealer the other day as the tech was installing a set of these in a GT2. The parts looked fantastic and the tech tells me they are quality aftermarket hardware.
He told me a set of 4 for my car (03 Turbo) would run about $500 installed and then an alignment on top of that. I might have this done the next time the car needs 4 new tires so the alignment is done after the arm upgrade and new tires are installed.
Sincerely,
Macster.

What is the advantage to these over stock though?

These aftermarket arms have no rubber bushings which makes for a bit sharper handling, vehicle response. They offer more adjustibilty including caster (at the front).
They will almost certainly offer a bit, well, harsher ride a noisier ride, but the other suspension/steering/drivetrain components retain their rubber bushings so the car won't turn into a covered wagon on the ride thing.
If the stock car's ride is almost too noisy for you, its ride borderline too harsh, you might want to skip the aftermarket arms and go with the stock arms.
Sincerely,
Macster.
