Sagging rear = bad bushings? 900 1993

My '93 945T (107k miles) is a bit low in the rear. I just replaced the rear springs (with Scan Tech cargo coils), and the rear sags much less under load than it used to, but the unloaded height did not change.

My next guess is rear bushings... which ones are suspect? What should I look for when I check? I'm going to get under the car tomorrow with my jack stands, etc. to take a good look.

My axle pinion seal was leaking for a while before I replaced it, so all the rubber back there was getting blasted with gear oil for a couple months... I guess that could have something to do with it...

TIA,
Brian
