What is this link and where can I get two?
Both of these little links are loose on my FC, they cause the wheels to have about maybe a half inch total of play. I called the Mazda dealer here in Charlottesville (Flow Mazda), and they said it was called the Lateral link, but after a couple searches on here, the lateral link looks like it's the one with the two tie rod things on each end, right? So what is this smaller link called, and where can I pick up a couple of them?
EDIT: This is on the REAR control arm, Lol. Sorry.

Rear Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit
Where those links go, that's the rear lower control arm I believe.

I don't see them listed on mazdatrix's website, but call them and ask. You should be able to get them. Worst case, you can't and have to buy the whole damn set new.
Edit: Beaten. Yeah, those are it. I was thinking "camber link" not "control arm". Woops.

I don't think that's the same thing, the rear lower control arm bushings are something different. They don't have bushings listed for the rear camber link.
I'd call or e-mail and ask to be sure, though.
edit: I too was beaten regarding call and ask.

If you end up having to buy new ones you might opt for MMR like he said ^^^ or AWR individual camber links. Mazdatrix sells AWR types with grease zerks added, but they're a bunch more money. I use the AWR ones and I like them, on old suspension it's not a bad idea to have anyway so your camber can be adjusted to compensate. In stock form the FC doesn't have rear camber adjustment, so if it's out of whack you'll be chewing up tires and won't be able to do a damn thing about it except get, you guessed it, adjusters (there's also a center link you can get that allows rear camber adjustment, but it affects both sides at the same time instead of individually, I got both the center link and the individual links to make sure I didn't have any trouble getting it aligned properly).

Give it time - they will break.
The reason has nothing to do with the subframe link. It has everything to do with the fact that both AWR and MMR eliminated one degree of freedom when they designed their links, putting the bolt / rod end threaded portion in torsion as the suspension moves.

I just ordered them from the local Mazda dealer last winter when I rebuilt my entire rear suspension. I think they were about $100 Canadian each. Not really that hard to find.
