While there are may billet parts out there, I see nothing available from any of our suppliers for one on the control arm shaft. I'm sorry..

I know, no problem there, for the standard application that just works fine.

I'm sure originals are forged and significantly stronger than billet anyway.

Maybe, but it's not strength i'm specifically after. I need a perfectly machined part, that has the ends perfectly straigth.

I bought a forged set from Moog, I thought they were very good quality.

Yes they are, but as they are not machined, the ends are not perfectly. I found that out when putting a shaft like this in a lathe. It wobbled like crazy.
