At this point if you really need to adjust the alignment the bushings will
have to be cut out. As the sleeves are somewhat hardened this is a real
PITA.  How far out of alignment is it?

There is definitely rust.  This van has been in the salty Midwest all its
life and driven regularly all year round, 200K miles.
  Big pry bars, big oxy-acetylene torch, BFH, etc., very little movement.
