fixed this on an fc last week, lateral links like bananas
but also the rear camber adjust offset spherical bushing for the LCA had spun on the curbed side,, so that wheel had crazy positive camber

 

Are the links fairly easy to replace? I remember seeing a bent rod/link when i had that rear wheel off.

Any advice so i can avoid any snags?

 

links just bash out like any other tie rod end , you dont need to drop anything else to get at them
you may have to put a lever on top of the link to pull some tension on it if you find the taper is spinning with the nut when you do or undo

 

Is it bad to drive it like this?

 

Your tires are going to be pretty worn after a few miles. And driving on the freeway feels a bit weird lol.

 

lol i screwed up my first 87 na pretty bad doing the same thing lol check your rims too if you hit a curb flat the rim should have hit first if it was any kind of real curb anyway and yes parking lots especially church ones lol where i live a parking lot is private property and you must be prosocuted my the owner the police cant do shiz till you hit the road
