93 fd rear toe link bushing question

my right rear wheel slightly moves left and right. it appears that my re toe link has some play in it. i think its the bushing (not sure if it a bushing in there) that is worn out. can i replace that bushing alone or do i have to replace the whole link. if you guys dont know what im talking about i can get some pics. but its the side that attaches closer to the inside of the car. not the side closer to the wheel.


thanks!

Yes you can replace the pillowball bushing in the toe link.

Fighters Garage, Rotary Performance, and others carry upgraded toe links - usually for around $200-ish for the pair.

You might be right. Call Ray Crowe. Where else would you get a stock part?

That looks like a Rotary Extreme toe link. There is a link in the suspension Archives for replacements. I think its an Aurora bearing or heim joint - I forget the correct term. Those types of items don't last as long as stock bushings.
