You might wanna do a search here on this as I saw a similar thread posted not long ago inquiring about rear wheel alignment as well. At first it brought a few laughs till someone pointed out that indeed the rear wheels can be out of alignment i.e. former accident etc... .

It sounds like most of the suspension work was in the front, and you only replaced bushings (shackle bushings and front bushing?) on the rear. Correct? Also, the rear of the car is lower on the driver's side. Correct? If so, this is not an alignment issue.
Poor rear alignment can be best seen by having someone following your car to see if the car is moving straight, the rear and front tires tracking. When the rear is out of alignment, the rear will swing out to the left or right somewhat and the front and rear tires will not be tracking. This is often caused by the long axis of the rear end not being perpendicular to the long axis of the car.
The string method is the best/cheap way to check this, and to get things aligned.
