Worldsuspension is an ebay seller that I've had luck with. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just purchased struts,stabilizer links, and sway bar bushings from them and they worked out nicely! Here's a link to bring you to there page.

I don't see how a control arm would make your car sit lower... Can you take a picture of the loose piece of metal?

The only way the control arm would lower the car a little bit, is if every bushing is messed up, which is probably not the case, and even if it was, it wouldn't be very noticeable.

When was the last time you replaced your springs on the car? The spring can be tired and let the car sag a little bit.

For suspension parts, especially ball-joints and tie-rods, as well as bushings, i wouldn't go with a no-name brand. Not even brands like Beck/Arnley. Go with OEM or brands such as Moog and other lifetime warranty items!

Trust me, i installed quite a few of those no-name or cheaper parts on cars, and in the long run, the price you pay for Moog is worthed when you count the repair costs and alignment costs...

For $100 or so cheaper than oem I gotta go with Ebay in general. I hear what your saying, but for people on a budget, these are perfect. I would say moog for the lower ball joint just because those ruin quick.
