Thanks Tom, you are right. I have not replaced any suspension parts except the sway bars. Rather than just replacing everything, where should I start. Obviously the rear. Then what? This could get expensive.

I'd get the alignment -- that almost seems like one side or the other has some toe -- could be in or out. One of the control arms could be bent ever so slightly --- or maybe while still tight, something knocked something and added some tow, but otherwise appears fine (i.e. tight) -- until you drive it.

Thanks, I think you may be on the right track. I'll move in that direction.
