Rear Camber way off

OK well after getting my new clutch in and brakes on I figured taht since my car was already driving that much better I'd might as well get a 4 wheel aignment and balence the tires. Well the back passenger side wheel was way off and a part was bent and had to be replaced. I was told the part was 225 bucks from Mazda and it was making my camber like 5 degrees, he said it was like a bar joint on each end and thats all he told me. any idea what this part could be?

get a couple of these instead. that's roughly what the part you're looking for looks like, allthough the mazda one isn't adjustable. these are adjustable and somewhat overkill but you never know when you'll need to adjust your camber!

That piece shown above is the vertical link that adjusts camber from both sides at once. I have that for sale. If the camber is messed up on one side you would need to replace the lateral links

http://mazdatrix.com/h6_86-92.htm 3rd item from the bottom right below where you see the camber link adjustor on that page.

Thats the VERTICAL link.... it adjusts BOTH wheels... there is only one on the car...

the Lateral links are 72 bucks from Mazfdatrix for the stock ones and 105 bucks for the adjustable ones that iliketoeatricers is talking about

Yeah, that is the lateral link....not sure what others are calling lateral links but that is the one and only....
$144 a piece from mazdatrix.

I am sure you can find them used.

Make sure you pay attention to the way you install them.....each end is different if you look at the picture.

Those individual toe adjusters look just like the ones I got from AWR, though the AWR ones are a little less expensive and don't have the grease fittings.
