Lose/shaking rear end
Hi
i own and love my Corvette c5 base coupe 2002 (58000 miles)
Feels like the rear end on my car is bit loose and it starts shaking over 50mph. (feels like bad weighted wheels)
Rims and tires are fine (checked at wheel shop)
The Rpm dosent seem to make any difference so i dont think its torque tube problems?
i have had the car to get the wheels aligned and its all good
Looks like all the bushings on the car is from new. can old and tired bushings make this kind of problem?
Any thing else i should check?
Sorry about bad english

Wheel bearing? Is there any noise? Does cornering have any affect?
These are touch ones to diagnose without being in the car unfortunately.
I LOVE Norway. Incredibly beautiful country and wonderful people... SOOO expensive!

yes i understand the problem with far away diagnostic. i will check the car on a 2 post and 4 post lift and se if i can get any suspension movement that is not normal, also

The tricky part of diagnosing issues like yours is it's extremely difficult or even impossible to apply enough force while the car is stationary on a lift to simulate the forces the chassis experiences while driving.
That said it sounds like your on the right track.
Good luck to you Sir
