Help on rear lateral links..

My rear left frontside (not sure what this is exactly called, lateral link or control arm) is bent.. Just wondering what kind i should replace them with.. The whiteline adjustable lateral link set seem to be good, but im not sure how to adjust them.. Any suggestions? thanks..

Unless you really need the extra alignment adjustment, just go get some OEM/stock lateral links.

How much would this be to replace at the dealership? i dont see anywhere else that would carry the parts.. Also, that is the only visible damage.. there could be something else wrong with my rear end.. the rear leftside wheel is concaved inwards, and my alignment is completely thrown off.. What could this mean DarkOnion, please help.. I need to fix my car so i can drive it to work.. The rear tires backspun while the front's were stuck.. can this mess up something since the car is AWD and the wheels backspun? thanks

You should call a shop and have them take a look. But as for the shocks, my rear coilovers are slanted a little toward the front of the car.
