rear end wobbles left to right please help
i have this really weird problem
while im driving with my foot on the gas pedal, my rear end wobbles left to right
this happens after 50mph and while im driving straight or turning right like switching lanes
if i let off the gas pedal it stops or when im turning left it doesnt happen
my car is properly aligned and all the parts are factory with 189xxx
keep in mind that it drives good, i can hit a 100 mph it just feels like i have major body roll so much so that people think im about to lose control and move out the way
someone please help

did they adjust the toe in the front?? the alignment on my car is within factory specs
lol I know thats alot of miles on the car but I dont have the funds to start replacing things until I solve the problem
I dont mind replacing anything that is worn but the mechanic I took it to said everything looks good sooo I got on here to see if anyone can give me any advice

if your alignment is good you should jack up the rear and check if your wheels are loose. Not like nuts n bolt but literaly grab the wheel and shake it you might have a bad hub bearing. The same thing is happening to me right now, when i lifted the car to inspect i was able to shake the wheel like crazy almost like the lug nuts were loose. I am going to change the bearing tonight

I tried that already but the tires do not budge
plus if the hub/ bearings were bad then I would hear the who-who sound
the tires stay planted to the ground
it just feels like the body is floating

I had this problem, It turned out to be a dodgy tyre. Try pumping your tyres up to a ridiculously high pressure just to check. like 55psi etc. If it goes away then its obviously the problem.
I had bilstein coilovers in, and some new bushing in the rear end, I put pineapples in thinking it would fix the issue, but it turned out to just be **** tyres.
Thats all I can help with as far as an internet diagnosis
