Default Looking for a fix for my rear suspension

I just bought a car from a member of the forum with what looked like just an issue of worn out leaf spring shackle bushings. After a lot of reading on leaf spring retrofits I found out about the 1 1/2 inch difference in the drivers side frame rail. The builders of the car evidently didn't know this or ignored how the rear of the leaf springs were lining up. What I have is the front of the leaf springs mounted equal distance from the centerline of the car and the rear of the springs forced to line up with frame rails. Evidently this is why the bushings failed. The rear end out of a 1990 TA and is centered in the body. I can't get it in my head how the rear end is centered and the rear end of the leaf springs is so far off. I am at a loss at what to do next. Some of you may recognize the car, the previous owner posted on the forum for help about tire rub not recognizing the root cause of the rub.
