Rear swaybar/control arm bushings/shocks
So i believe the nightmare of my car shacking bad at highway speeds has "something" to do with the rear end components. I had the car in the air and put it in gear to watch the driveshaft turn to look and see if the ujoints were sloppy, they look fine, but when i shifted into 3rd the car started shaking like it does on the highway and i looked at the rearend, it looked like the front were the driveshaft connects was moving up and down very fast but very little, not the actual driveshaft, but the rear axle. I didn't know if because the rear sway bar isn't connected to the axle, or the control arm bushings may be not that great, or the rear shocks are pretty sh*tty could be causing this
I know i'm going to replace most of these parts eventually but i'm trying to figure out a good order to buy them to possibly solve the problem.
And while in the air only the pass side tire was spinning, i know my drivers side caliper sticks a little but i thought the rear endwould puss through it,guess i don't have lsd so a new gear is probably in order soon also :-(
Anybody have any luck with the gabriel shocks and struts? I've got a guy at autozone that can order all 4 for $100 (my hookup price, not retail)

i believe that not a damm thing on the car is original, look at my sig, plus it had porno red intrior which is now black (other then a dumb suede headliner and grey buckets), but thats not the point. Whomever put the 95 rearend in didn't connect the sway bar to it, only to the lower control arms, anyways if i could find one bolt in the whole car that hasn't been removed at 1 point in its life then i'd be amazed.

torque boxes look straight, might get the kit just to make sure they stay straight.
sounds like kyb is the way to go.
i hate doing gears
