Okay, here's one new observation--the stock exhaust actually comes in contact with the axle housing--sometimes I hear a rattle, sometimes not, which means axle housing takes a different position over every bump. A weekend rebuild of the rear suspension is in order.
Please help with creating a parts/tools list:
Remember, I'm still shooting for OEM MOST of the way. I have seen on another forum how to remove the subframe bushings without removing the axle shaft housing and how to fabricate the tool to do it. (Hope I marked it). I'll see about procedure as I accumulate parts and tools.

For the weekend rear end rebuild I already have:
oem style shocks, mounts, and bolts.
one jack and set of stands
So I need:
another jack and stands
rear subframe bushings left and right

rear trailing arm bushings left and right

stabilizer brackets and links, and bushings (they have a little rot and wiggle)

How about dimensions for the left rear trailing arm, so I can check it by measuring to see if it's bent or not?

And what else?
