I went with the absolute lowest tech repair I could - I took a roll of 3M electrical tape and wrapped it around the control arm and that clip 3 or 4 times. Honestly, it looks pretty bad, but it worked! Noise is gone and the car is surprisingly MUCH quieter. Amazing how such a small piece can be so irritating.

Now, onto climate control and door locks...thanks to all for your help!
