So over the weekend both of my passenger wheels became close friends with a curb and I managed to bend me some rear suspension links (snow + rwd and no snow tires = bleh). The two that ended up damaged I identified in the repair manual as the rear trailing link and the toe control link. While I was able to bend them back with a little heat and some gentle hammer persuasion, I'd still like to replace them. After doing quite a bit of searching (a lot of searching), all I can seem to find are parts sites listing rear suspension components as link, upper link, lower link, and trailing link. I know the dealer would be able to source them but hey...who wants to do that, not this guy's wallet.

Anyway, if anyone has any information as to where these parts can be sourced or which they translate to on a parts site, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance! Beers

 

Sorry to hear about the sudden end to your 4 wheel drift...

^call Mazmart - forum vendor - they deal in new and pre-loved parts. https://www.rx8club.com/mazmart-88/introduction-mazmart-37385/

Also, try a PM to member G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY https://www.rx8club.com/members/g3tr3ddy2gr3ddy-25637/ he seems to be in tune with mortally-wounded RX-8's.
