You might also want to check the cv joints on the axles. Based on your description of the problem and a night’s sleep, I’d suspect them before trailing arm bushings. I think if the trailing arm bushings were bad enough to cause the issues you’re having they would be very noticeable in cornering and switching from accel to decel.

Also, it’s a bit of a project to do those bushings. Not terribly advanced, just a lot of road dirt, grunting and hard work with multiple jacks and very tight bolts. Sounds like a good idea to do that prybar check before just replacing them.
