I agree with JetDriver, particularly the big rear trailing arm bushings. I had a full INCH of sag in the back of my 87 before I replaced them. Obviously the axle could move fore and aft some too, and soemtimes you'll get a symptom like this: on the gas, car tracks left- off the gas, car tracks right. This would indicate one being much more worn than the other. The axle is located in two dimensions by these two bushings. I'd count on them being shot.
Try raising the rear of the car by lifting under the frame or jack mounts (not the axle or trailing arm for this test) and try to lift the axle at the big bushing inside the trailing arm. IF it is able to move much, then they're shot and you need new ones. Cheap part/bunch of labor to install.
