i recently bought a 90 rx7 vert that had been slid into a ditch, the rear passenger side wheel has alot of positive camber (wheel siting out at the top) and a little toe out..the drivers side rear wheel looks fine, it has negative camber but the car is lowered with tein ss coilovers so i suspect the negative camber is normal...my question is on the passenger side rear, what should i look at replacing first? is it the small link that is attached to the lower control arm thats causing the positive camber? ive looked at the car on a lift and i cant see anything that is obviously bent but the small link that i mentioned earlier is sitting at a slight angle...sorry for the long post but i have a parts car but i dont want to have to replace the whole rear suspension just because i dont understand the geometry of it.

thanks yall,

No mang., it's not an area where everyone knows what they're talking about (including me). Those not posting are doing you a favour instead of leading you to the wrong direction. All I can say is take it to a frame shop and have them make sure the chassis is still fine, then start measuring suspension components.

Maybe the links to the FSM below and stuff will help with a few pictures.

No, the biggest reason no responce yet is that is not something that is easy to diag without being there. New to this forum, but I have done suspension work/repair for years and from the sounds of it I would put it on a frame machine and have it checked, sounds like a bent mount to me, because if it was a bar then most people would be able to see it.

I put my first fc into a curb the first day i had it. Needless to say i became very intimate with the supsension. take a look at the lower control arm, see if its kinked at all, mine exploded and took the shock with it.

i dont see why people think dropping the subframe is such a big deal. it would probably be easier to replace the whole thing than one component. without actually knowing/telling us what is damaged (or showing pics) how do you expect us to know whats wrong and how to fix it?
