I'll second Neil's comments.

Regarding the trailing arm bushings, I recently cycled the suspension with no springs and measured camber and toe changes. Rear toe is remarkably constant for a semi-trailing arm design. I attribute this to the pitman arm (dog bone).

I suspect that with harder bushings, the pitman arm will not be able to correct rear bump steer as well. Regardless, I am currently installing KMAC urethane trailing arm bushings to minimize rear camber.
