Auto Parts: rear lateral link, ford escort lx, internet tab

Question
QUESTION: I need to replace what my manual calls the rear lateral link or what the alignment people call a toe arm.  I have a 1992 ford escort lx, 1.9 liter, manual shift.  I'm having a difficult time trying to find replacements on line.  Where can I purchase replacements.  One place only returned my email and said the model number is #FOCZ5500C but their price was way too much for what I want to spend on this old car, although reliable and my kids car.  I understand that there is only one adjustable link on the rear and the other side is a solid bar, I was also told that I could replace that solid bar with the same adjustable link for 4-way alignment.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

QUESTION: Thank you for your response, but I have a used one, I need a new one.  Do you know where I might find a new one.

Thank you.

Answer
Hi Darryn,

Why buy new when used will do?

Sorry dude, I'll go out of my way to get you a great-condition used but I won't even open a second internet tab to look for a new one on your behalf. For what you'll pay for a new one, I could probably send you three used ones. Just because it is used does not mean it is bad. I'm not sure why you'd be replacing it, but if it is in NEED of replacement, a used one will work just as good and be much easier on your wallet. If the vehicle were three or four years old I could understand your need for new parts, but 16 years? Used will do nicely.

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
