Upper Control Arm Problem(pic)

I was driving my RX8 this morning to work and suddenly I heard something bang on the rear passenger side wheel. Then I noticed how wobbly the car was feeling on acceleration and slowing down.
So I once at work I found this..

Will I have to order a replacement from mazda? or is it easily replaceable?

replacement from Mazda, but you can throw a generic bolt in there to get you by but take it easy until the Mazda one is back in place

shouldn't be driven without one, the wheel/suspension will be moving all around without it

It happened while I was driving so I couldn't help to drive the car without it for a little bit.

I did manage to get a hold of a generic one. Guessing the old one was just worn out and broke, wasn't really driving hard when it happened.

Thanks,
