Default 89 gt rear end shake

Trying to nail down a shake is tougher then you would think! I have a shake not a vibration at pretty much any speed it's not to bad until you reach highway speeds. Doesn't matter if you are under power or coasting in gear or neutral . I have had the tires balanced , new u-joints, new axle and diff. Bearings. It feels a lot like a tire out of balance. It has a t5 and I don't really feel the shake in the shifter . It really seems to be coming from the rear tires... Could it be an axle?? When the car is on jack stands I have tried to watch the rear wheels while running in gear for any wobble but I don't see anything. If anyone could point me to another guilty subject that would help. Thanks

My shake, turned out to be bad rear control bushings.


If yours are the originals, this is more than likely the culprit.I tried to remove my own control arms and could not.Local shop had to use a plasma cutting torch
