Default Aftermarket LCA ?

The dealership says my rear LCAs are broken. Are there aftermarket LCAs? If so is it worth the upgrade?

How do you think they were broken? Did he show them to you?
What year car? I don't know of any aftermarket Lower Control Arms.

It's broken where the rear sway bar connects to the LCA.

2005 M6

Any GM parts vendors on here?

Wow. That's a pretty beefy part. I'm surprised that would break before the diff would grenade.

Have you seen the break?

I busted a front A-arm on a Triumph TR-6 crossing a bad railroad crossing at [insert insane speed here] MPH once. It was kind of understandable, but I can't see busting one or both LCAs on a C6.
