"Trailing Arm" replacement

[rugbymonk]

Has anyone had to work on the Roadster suspension, and needed a trailing arm? My independent mechanic showed me how the wheel shakes after being fully mounted and recommends I don't drive it before it is repaired. But we are having trouble finding the parts and tesla will take at least a few weeks. Maybe Lotus Elise parts? Any suggestions?

I have a 10-sec video of it moving with the wheel but cannot upload it.

The Lotus part is NOT the same as the Tesla part. There's a couple of threads on the rear toe links.
