Question about lateral arms

Apparently both my front lateral arms have gone bad on my 03 coupe. Do they make after market ones? Reason I ask is I have no idea what these are, and I'm embarrassed to say that haha

Number 9 is the lateral arm.

They cost ~$40 from the dealer - there's no reason to go aftermarket here.

Nissan quoted me $807.54 and based off the paper work they gave me, it is the latteral arms. Idk if labor has been added for the 24 point inspection sheet.

They quoted you the titanium arms! Install yourself then get an alignment. Was the service writer wearing a mask when he gave you that quote????

Titanium is sarcastic, yes.

Go to a mechanic not the dealer. These are cheap and maximum 1 hour of labor a side. So under $300 installed and then a $60 alignment.
