update
Since I had just replaced the TA bushings about 5 years ago and used stainless hardware - it came out easy. When I removed the TA - the bushing that was installed (improperly I might add) simply fellout of the railing arm. The part where you bevel the inner sleeve over the bevelled washer failed. BINGO!! I ordered and replaced the Trailing arm using the correct procedure of compressing the bushing and then applying the "bevel". 
The newly installed bushing is/was about 1/4" narrower than my previously incorrectly installed bushing so I needed more shims to take up some slack. At my last alignment I let Sandshark have my extra alignment shis so I had to order new shims. What seemed like several weeks later they arrived in the mail and I installed them.
I bled the brakes until no rusty colored brake fluid appeared, installed the wheels, put her on the ground and took her for a test drive........ (new brake lines are on docket now)
NO CHANGE!!!!!
I'm hoping/assuming that an alignment fixes it at this point - obviously having to add extra shims may have goofed that up. don't have any play in the bushing any more. So fingers crossed that an alignment will take care of it.
