Does anyone know if I can purchase the plastic piece that extends through the rear lower control arm and bolts to the frame? Mine snapped off. Thanks.

Ron, the plastic piece is not replaceable. You will need to purchase the entire bushing and press it out and then put in the new one in its place. There are a couple of important angles and depth that you need to keep consistent in order for the alignment to be reasonably the same. Try to do a search for the Rear control arm bushing replacement and you'll see several tutorials.

 

that part is the trailing arm,i suggest that you buy a genuine honda parts,thats what i did when it was mess up, usually when u need to replace trailing arm you need to remove the whole thing, but my mechanic did replaced it buy just removing the lca .thats a trailing

oops, maroon, you are correct. It is a trailing arm since there is nothing to control in the rear wheels.
