weird vibration coming from the rear wheels at 65 mph+
so today i was driving on the freeway around 65 and i noticed every few seconds the rear would shake side to side, and i kinda figured the lug nuts were loose, so i got home and they were tight. any ideas of wat it could b?
a few things about the suspension: its on ground control coilovers, tokico blues all around, new lower control arms, and rear camber kit, and the wheels were balanced and rotated . i also lifted the car and noticed the trailing arm bushings were torn at the bottom, could this b wats making the vibration?

yes, could be wheel bearing. Or trailing arm bushings, or bad toe.
Raise the rear up and see if you can wiggle one or both wheels back and forth. That can be an indicator of a wheel bearing.
How bad are your trailing arm bushings, really? It's normal for them to have an opening at the bottom; they come that way brand new.
Check your tires for signs of cupping or feathering that can indicate toe. Another sign might be excessive tire noise from the rear.

Re: weird vibration coming from the rear wheels at 65 mph+
i picked it up and wiggled the wheel and it seemed pretty firm, and the car had an alignment maybe 3 months ago with toe and camber in the front and rear.
im gonna do alil more research b4 i start buying parts it may be but those ideas u guys hve thrown at me seem pretty good guesses. thanks

I would say that they might be a good start to figuring out the problem.
