Rear Suspension Problems?

Well I'm having a bit of a problem with my rear suspension for my 1988 RX7. The camber and toe are pretty bad. I found that the rear lateral link was bent pretty good. So I have a straight replacement now, but before I got it I got another one that had a slight bend in it, that seemed to help but it still seems off. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be would be helpful. I'll look into getting some pics up within the next couple of days. As far as I can tell everything looks straight, but I have yet to look at the center camber link. Thanks for any help.

I had a link that looked like elbow maccaroni, I pulled it out and straightened it w/ a hammer and it helped a lot. however I wasn't sure if something esle had been tweaked (something had to transfer the force to the link). Since I was having the diff rebuilt I replaced the whole subframe. Problem solved.

Short of that, take it to and alignment shop, if it can't be brought within spec using the full adjustment range of a particular component, chances are its bent/broken (or whatever it connects to is)
