How to design a curved plane

Hello

 

I'm struggling to reconstruct a small piece for an RC Car. 

 

How would you suggest to go about to achieve the structure in the picture? I could extrude, then use a curve on a sketch to cut it, but that won't be exactly what the original looks like. There has to be a straightforward solution, but I just can't see it. 

(My plan is to create top and bottom arm independently, then merge the bodies at the end. I have little to no exp in surface / mesh modification, just solid. Maybe there is an even easier way to thicken the arms in one of those two editing modes?)

Any hints are much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

If it is to be a curved base profile, that could work.

Thanks a lot. That is really helpful. Slightly more complicated than I expected, but the result is perfect.
