bent rod near back right tyre (supposed to be bent)??

So today I was working on my car and was trying to figure out how to get the rear bumper off and came across a bent rod near the suspension, is this supposed to be bent ??, I have a few weeks off work and am fixing all the things that need fixing on my SP20.(sorry don't know what's it actually called, I will post 2 pics the left and the right so you can compare.

thanks

Here is the right side and this looks straight


Here is the bent left side


You cant really see it but the little knob thing if bent really far forward (toward the bonnet and down toward the ground.

That moves when you go around corners. Swaybar links.

Going to get this fixed, pretty sure this is the thing making the clunk, will these fit
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mazda-Pro...item23317f348c

Are these universal for the 1.6,1.8 and KQ,KN Laser also

be cheaper to get it from a aussie supplier since that bloke wants to charge $40USD for shipping.

Have you confirmed that the endlink is the actual problem?
Easy enough to disconnect the suspect item and "zip tie" it to the sway bar or remove one completely then take it for a drive to see if the clunk stops!
