Default HELP-strange noise

95 accord wagon ex-slushbox
So I went side ways the other day at near highway speed (driver error)
now I have an unidentified rythmic drumming noise that I am have difficulty locating. the sound is easiest to hear/feel at around 35mph.
I've checked the following:
-nothing is rubbing the tires
-frt/rr balljoints upper/lower
-tierods
-axles
-tires are balanced and aligned
-bearings
I'm a shade tree mechanic and don't want to give in and take it to a shop
so any help would be appreciated-thanks___no-no

Put the car up on jack stands (securely of course) and shake the wheels one at a time. See if anything feels loose.

nothing happens when it is up on stands. thanks though. the sound seems like it is coming from the d/s rear. a mild shimmy has started upon braking from highway speed...so that makes wonder about the axles
