Default CRAZY VIBRATION!!!!!!!!

I've been having a vibration since i bought my car and i cannot figure out what's causing it.
It starts around 55-60 Mph and i think is comming from behind, i can feel it in my sit.
the vibration goes away when i take it out of gear, i've already installed a ne suspension Package from Laurel Mustang, its been Aligned, and i still feel the vibration. Any suggestions what is causing it?

Thanks

Jack up your car and run it and see if it still vibrates, it could be the U-Joints, or the rear end , the tranny, or even tires out of balance.

Not sure what trans you have but c4 or whatever try it at the same speed but in a different gear. (if possible)

If you have a c4 for example lock it into second gear and accelerate to 55 or 60 and see if its any different.

what rear end?
1)check lugs
2)check u joints
3)this is the bad one, jack the *** end up and pull the diff cover and check your gears.

my bet is on #3

probably a stupid comment, but what about the balance of your rear wheels? if they arent balanced you get "speed wobble" at about 50-60mph. stupid suggestion, but its a cheap fix if it works.
