Its the rear control arm bushing that connect TO the rear end. So my question is, how can i get it back in. Do i need to support the rear while i do it or can i just simply loosen that arm and seat the bushing in. I've wanted to fix this for awhile b/c one tire sticks out more.

one tire sticks out more than the other? you might have bigger problems than that i've done three axle swaps all on mustangs and never had that problem you might have to get new control arms, unless your bushings are bad and need replaced.
I went and took a look at it, nothing appears to be bent, but the bushings on the lower/upper control arms do look deteriorated. Ever since i got the car, the passenger rear tire stuck out a 1/2" more than the other tire. I forgot to mention that both bushings in the rearend are not seated fully, one sticks out half an inch, the other a quarter inch. Thanks for the input guys.

If your talking about where the axle is welded to the bracket that the rear shock is bolted to, they look fine. I looked at all the weld spots in that area and all look good.
