hey uproot I feel you dude I hit a curb avoiding an accident one time and bent mine to hell. You are correct the red peice you are reffering to is just part of the control arm. it comes as a whole which you can pick up at a salvage yard. I chose to go with honda connection in buford they charged me only $120 for the entire thing. It was quite simple to replace.

I would just replace the entire thing. hope that helps!!!
