Exclamation new guy vibration over 50 mph

Hey I'm new here and have an issue. Car drives fine no issues untill I hit 50mph. Then I het a vibration thays fairly harsh in the back end of the car and gets worse when I cruise or put in nutural. If I accel it seems to vibrate less. Had this problem and sibce I have replaced my tires and ujoints. I have a t5 and 4-10 gears . I have a panhard bar if that makes any diff. But I noticed that the 4 bolts that hold in the driveshaft the former owner had used 2 stock bolrs and 2 others with a bigger head on them would that throw it off enough to cause my issue? Any help would be great I'm working with close to no funds at the moment

That is a possibility. Put the right bolts in and go from there.

Yes it can do that, it's just like balancing a wheel, but it would get worse from accelerating I would think. I'd suspect worn out control arm bushings or something of that sort.

I had the same issue when I replaced my gears in my 92. I had to replace my driveshaft to an aluminum driveshaft from ford racing. It felt like my car was falling apart but new driveshaft fixed everything and worked perfectly.

Anyways how old is the suspension, unless its really sagging I can't see the angle being off that bad.
