You can use a trolley jack under the rear suspension with the wheel off and get the axle approx level and then tighten the bush nuts and bolts.

It will be the same effect as the car sitting on its wheels on the ground.

I cannot recall having a problem with with brake dust shield although you need to get under car as access is "quite" tricky.

The two main suspension links on the rear that wear their bushes, are the THRUST link and the TORQUE link.

The camber link is usually OK and the other link which is the tie rod for the rear toe adjustment is usually OK also. It needs checking of your rear tyres are wearing on one side, but it may just need adjustment.

Where you located ?
