I need to know if anyone knows the problem or fix to the my rear in shake. I get a pretty rough shake at times going down the highway 73-78 is rough but if I hit the gas and go to 80 it’s usually fine.

- truck is Aligned
- sway bar links are new
-rear end fluid is new
- tires are rotated and balanced every 6,000 miles
- sway bar bushing are new
- shocks are new
- all grease fittings are greased

why the heck do I still have a shake? It’s killing me and quite annoying! I can only think of my rear control arms. Please if anyone can give me some light on this issue! Thanks.

Did it shake before the sway bar & shocks were worked on?
If not then I'd look at those repairs again.

Discount tire does my balancing and rotation.

They have seen no evidence of a bent rim.

I will try checking the drive shaft weights later today.

Get a road force balance. A tire can balance perfectly but if it has excessive road force, you’ll get a vibration.

If the tires check out, check your cv shafts where they attach at the differential intermediate shafts. I had s similar issue

Hubs possibly? Jack your rear end up and see if there is play in one of your tires.

If someone could make me a juvenile again that would be great. I am a run down broken down old man, I'd give my left nut to be a juvenile again. Don't worry, I'd make good use out of the right nut I had left.

Have had the problem before.
First time: loose lug nuts.
2nd time: tire had an interior belt come loose. From outside tire looked fine. Tire was not that old either.
