Hey thanks! Everything went a lot easier once I busted out a torch.
I replaced the right side rear bushing (completely hosed) and the balljoint (just because). Didn't touch the tie-rod end and swaybar link yet, waiting until I complete the left-side bushing and balljoint.
Question: now my steering wheel alignment is off, even more than it was before. Car seems to track as straight as it did before, and everything bolted up fine. Steering wheel is turned for a right-hand turn, maybe 10-degrees, whereas before it was maybe 5-degrees.
Should I attempt to "center" the rack next weekend when I replace the tie-rods ends, meaning adjust them so the left and right are screwed on the same amount if they aren't already? Or just count the turns on removal and use the same for installation and leave it for the alignment shop to adjust?
