Bent rear "toe-in" rod

I got new tires today and the tech noticed I had a very minor bend in my L/R rim, but more importantly he said I had a bent "toe-in" rod. He had it up on the lift and showed it to me, but not being a mechanic and not having owned an AWD vehicle before I wasn't sure if he was using the right term or not. Basically it looks like a 3/4" thick, 18" long rod that runs from the rear sub-frame to the hub/knuckle. It is most definitely bent.

He said it will eventually cause the tire to wear unevenly (toe-in - makes sense I reckon), and I should get it replaced ASAP.

1. what is the correct term for this thing?
b). does anyone have one they want to part with for cheap?
III. has anyone else ever had this bent on their SVX?
