sucks to hear.
You can probably find aftermarket, but they're probably more expensive.
If you think replacing a broken part is expensive, just wait until you start upgrading parts.

i found an aftermarket set. i remembered finding them a bit back. i found another set too that was red but here's this set from awr, more complicated then the other set i found.
Toe Link Kit - Rear - 1986-1992 RX-7 - AWR Racing Store
let me try searching some more. after more searching, i cannot find the thread i was looking for.. hmm. i did find these though from supernow.
Super Now Lateral Control Link Rods FC3S
unfortunately i used to have the link bookmarked, but i had gotten a horrible virus and had to factory reboot my netbook (Asus seashell series) and i no longer have it. i tried though. if i remember correctly they were the same price as the awr ones but were made like the supernow ones. not as complicated as the awr ones. i tried though. good luck

just buy the original one, its a important piece
that was bent on my car just a little bit and the car went through a set of tires in a couple thousand miles before I realized it was bent

if im gonna buy new i might as well get aftermarket ones. my car was my daily till now but idc ill let it sit and do it the right way . or if i find a used one cheap enough
the note about most aftermarket parts being inferior is also correct.

i just changed it now the wheel is strait but alot of positive camber still . idk wat else to change cant be the whole hub cause its cast iron so it woudnt bend right?
You could have bent the axle or hub. The knuckle is cast and less likely to bend. I had a ca once that always drug the rear left brake. Put rotors and calipers on it, still did it. Looked at the axle righ and said "dang, that doesn't look right" got a used one and put it in. Problem was gone.

yea man i seen another little link that could be the problem for the camber lol just looked at both sides and seen thats bent too . its drives real good no just positive camber lol
ok so after searching some more i finally found that link i was talking about with the red adjustable toe arms. i thought that i had it bookmarked, but i have a lot of bookmarks and i guess i forgot what it was labeled as because i just found it while cleaning up my bookmarks. so here it is as promised

Looks to me like youve bent the entire trailing arm. Had a buddy bend one on his vert, bent the rim, lateral link, trailing arm, and BENT the bolt that goes through the DTSS bushing. Everything else checked fine. Judging from your single picture, and that youve already stated you bent the lateral link, Id replace the trailing arm and check the wheel hub as well. Your wheel in the picture looks like it is both cambered positive, and has some serious toe issues (hint: if one wheel is straight, and the other wheel is pointing off to the right, the rear will want to dart right with the steering wheel straight. another indicator of a bent trailing arm.)
